Entity profile and case conventions

Gantrel SA (fictitious entity) makes agricultural machines and closes its accounts on 31 December 20X7; its functional currency is the euro. Case conventions: amounts in EUR; case convention (pedagogical assumption, not attributed to the standard): the lease interest of the manufacturer-lessor stays in the operating category under the policy of the entity, without the case deciding the question; the interest on own cash stays in investing; the note by nature includes the amounts included in assets; the entry is illustrative.

Transition to IFRS 18: restated comparative, reconciliation, note on expenses by nature, "other" label and starting point of the cash flow statement: Note — employee benefits
