Change in method of accounting for revenue recognition: Tribunal found the assessee changed the stage-of-completion basis, reversing previously recognised revenue and claiming that reversal as a prior-period deduction which was allowed by the AO and upheld on appeal; this adjustment merely shifted timing of profit recognition without altering tax payable (no loss to the exchequer) and is supported by precedent on timing differences.
