A change in accounting principles, accounting estimates, or the reporting entity. A change in an accounting principle is a change in a method used, such as using a different depreciation method or switching from LIFO to FIFO. An example of an accounting estimate change could be the recalculation of machine's estimated life due to wear and tear.
Under both GAAP and IFRS, changes in depreciation method and changes in useful life are treated in the current and future periods, in other words- not retrospectively. Under IFRS, estimates of useful life and residual value, and the method of depreciation, are reviewed at least at each annual reporting date.
