Anyone who thinks they know the accounting standards for every country in the world is almost certainly mistaken. However, when we researched this, we decided that round-half-to-even would keep most people happy, with the exception of many people who were taught in primary school that 0.5 rounds upwards, and still believe that this is the only way of doing it, with the same passion as those who believe it is wrong ever to split an infinitive.
