Disclosure of accounting judgements and estimates [text block] | 3. SIGINFICANT ACCOUTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes: ● Determination of functional currency ● Determination of allowance for doubtful accounts ● Determination of the recoverability of the carrying value of intangibles and goodwill ● Recognition of internally developed intangibles ● Determination and recognition of long-term revenue contracts ● Recognition of government grant and grant receivable ● Recognition of deferred tax assets ● Valuation of share-based payments ● Recognition of provisions and contingent liabilities |
