Context

Montrel SA (fictitious entity) publishes several measures in its 20X7 earnings release. It prepares its statements under IFRS 18. You identify the management-defined performance measures, reconcile the one that is such a measure to the most directly comparable specified subtotal, compute the income tax effect and the effect on non-controlling interests of each item and correct on the way a classification found during the reconciliation.

Assignment

Identification, measure and reconciliation of the items

Purpose of the workpaper

Take the income and expenses already classified by category and build the subtotals: operating profit, profit before financing and income taxes, profit before income taxes, profit for the period. For a measure published outside the financial statements, judge whether it is a management-defined performance measure, then reconcile it to the most directly comparable specified subtotal with the income tax effect and the effect on non-controlling interests of each item. The items, the measure and the tax rate of the simplified approach are case data.
