Dans une économie hyperinflationniste, pour être utiles, les états financiers au coût historique établis dans la monnaie nationale sont retraités au moyen d'un indice général des prix de manière à prendre en compte les effets de l'hyperinflation. Il est également possible de retraiter, à l'aide d'un indice général des prix, les états financiers établis selon une comptabilité au coût actuel. Dans ce dernier contexte, les expressions comptabilité indexée sur le niveau général des prix (general price-level accounting), ou simplement comptabilité indexée, peuvent suffire pour désigner la comptabilité au coût actuel indexé. Toutefois, elles désignent le plus souvent la comptabilité au coût historique indexé. 1, record 2, French, - comptabilit%C3%A9%20index%C3%A9e%20sur%20le%20niveau%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral%20des%20prix
