You can make changes to time references if the information is being reported at a later date. You only need to make tense changes when referring to a past event if it happened a long time ago or the information is out of date No tense change should be made because the information is still true. It isn't necessary to make tense changes if the reporting verb is in the present tense. Some modal verbs always change in reported speech.
