(Addendum)
Limitation of Scope of Special War Reserves
1. In January, 1942, the committee on accounting procedure issued Accounting Research Bulletin No. 13, Accounting for Special Re-serves Arising Out of the War. In October, 1946, it issued Bulletin No. 26 concerning the accounting for the use of these special war re-serves.
2. The committee is of the opinion that, in the light of subsequent developments of accounting procedures, these bulletins should no longer be relied upon as a basis for the establishment and use of re-serves.
The statement entitled "Limitation of Scope of Special War Reserves" (No. 13-Addendum) was unanimously adopted by the twenty-one members of the committee.
