Subsection (4)(a) refers not to a standard but to a practice. A practice may change from time to time, whereas a standard is adopted by a governing body. International standards are governed by the IFRS, and there are the American standards, the UK standards and so on. A practice is very different from a standard. Practices evolve as time goes on.
