FIN.17:4.7 - Replace stale reliance as well as the model

Give the receiver the changed result, its effective basis and the consequence for the earlier instruction or recommendation. Identify the previous result that is no longer adequate where coexistence could cause action on obsolete grounds. An updated workbook stored elsewhere does not repair a payment request or investment memo still using the old amount. Update the actual receiving account, or explicitly return the required change to its owner.

When a transaction is already committed, the refresh must start from that commitment. It can recommend a modification, finance the remaining duty or change future action; it cannot undo the contract by replacing its forecast. Separate the instruction that can still be withdrawn from the financial effect that has already occurred. FIN.15 supplies execution and recovery; FIN.14 handles a changed protection arrangement.

A useful return can be short: “Collection now falls on day 40; the loan still requires 45 on day 28; the earlier funding recommendation is conditional on obtaining 45 before repayment.” Include the affected calculation when the receiver needs to inspect it. Preserve an unaffected operating contribution or valuation component explicitly when doing so prevents an unnecessary restart.

Finish when the current financial result and its actual receiving use agree, or the exact unresolved dependence is returned. A model refresh can be complete while the resulting financing choice remains open. Those outcomes should remain distinct so that a successful recalculation is not reported as restored payment capacity.
