reclassifications

New grouping designations

Reclassifications are acts of assigning something to a different category than before.

The term appears in bureaucratic, scientific, and financial contexts: The reclassifications of several expenses affected the quarterly report.

A species may undergo reclassification when new evidence changes its taxonomic placement.

In accounting, reclassifications move items between line items or categories without changing the underlying amounts.
