The short answer is yes. And the longer answer, which you probably don't want, involves looking at how changes actually happen to Public Sector Accounting Board standards. There is a draft discussion paper that's published months, if not years, in advance. It's circulated for comments. Those comments are then collated by the accounting board. Then there is a revised draft that is issued for potentially further consultation if there isn't tight consensus, and ultimately the new standard is implemented with a bit of lead time, so everyone can react to it.
Certainly in this situation that's something that could be a good practice, especially were there to be a change in government or change in Minister of Finance. Having transparency around how that Minister of Finance defines capital would be something that would be potentially challenging for parliamentarians if there were to be a new Minister of Finance, and the definition was changing without consultation or any of the information being published.
