Changes in accounting policies
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company voluntarily changed its accounting policy to classify interest paid and received as part of operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Previously, the Company elected to classify interest paid as cash flow from financing activities and interest received as cash flows from investing activities. Accordingly, the Company has recast the three-month period ended February 28, 2022, comparative financial information on the consolidated statement of cash flows resulting in previously reported cash flow from operation decreasing by $1,585, cash flow used in financing by $1,653 and cash flow used in investing activities increased by $68.
Previously reported cash flows for the three-month period ended February 28, 2022, from operating activities, used in financing activities and in investing activities were $4,105, $1,959 and $22, respectively.
New standard adopted
Onerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)
The amendments specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments apply for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning on December 1, 2022, to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are first applied. At the date of initial application, the cumulative effect of applying the amendments is recognised as an opening balance adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity, as appropriate. The comparatives are not restated. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the financial statements.
