For example, a nongovernmental entity that followed a prevalent industry practice (category ( d)) as of March 15, 1992, does not have to change to an accounting treatment included in a standard that was in category ( b) or category ( c) (such as an accounting principle in a cleared AICPA Statement of Position or Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletin that is now included in the Codification in accordance with this Statement) whose effective date is before March 15, 1992. An entity that has followed, and continues to follow, an accounting treatment that was previously in category ( c) or category ( d) of that GAAP hierarchy as of March 15, 1992, need not change to an accounting treatment in a higher category (( b) or ( c)) of that hierarchy (now included in the Codification in accordance with this Statement) if its effective date was before March 15, 1992.
