Dear,
You first question is not clear. If you wish to have commentary of IFRS then you should check the webpages of big international firms like PWC, Deloitte, KPMG and E&Y etc. You may also check BDO, NEXIA and BAKER AND TILLY. You will certainly get something.
The other part of question will also be clear only when you will mention the city. Further, this question has so many times been answered on the "firms" at this forum. Check it out in detail.
Regards,
KAMRAN.

Is this a change in Accounting estimate or accounting policy?</font id="Century Gothic">
Dear,
Although this issue carries some complexity but in my view it's a change in accounting estimate. As you said, "the revised formula is more accurate", the estimates are revised to give more accurate results. However, there coud be dissenting comments on my conclusion as well.
In my view, this is a change in accounting estimate and this will be applied prospectively.

As you know, a change in accounting policy also results in financials statements providing more relevant and reliable information.
In my opinion this should be accounted for as a change in Accounting policy and applied restrosepctively. The reasons which come to my mind is that this change implies a revision in the basis for the measurement of stock and any change in the measurement bases falls under a change in accounting policy.
Further argument could be that if it is treated as a change in Accounting estimate it may give rise to income statement volatility. Reporting entities may manipulate their results by changing the cost formula.
But as you said, this is equivocal.</font id="Century Gothic">
