Question Vmo increase with altitude

Despite a search through tech log and my texts I can't find an explanation why there is a slight increase in Vmo as altitude increases. (Up to Mmo boundary).

If I was to guess it's because of compressibility effects on CAS/IAS, and hence EAS Vmo is constant.

Anyone who actually knows?
