Note 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />
Compliance with standards and laws<br />
the consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the international<br />
financial reporting Standards (ifrS) issued by the international accounting<br />
Standards Board (iaSB) and interpretation statements from the international<br />
financial reporting interpretations committee (ifric), which have been<br />
approved by the European commission for use within the EU. additional information<br />
in accordance with the Swedish financial reporting Board recommendation<br />
rfr 1.1 “Supplementary accounting rules for groups” has also been taken into<br />
account.<br />
the parent company applies the same accounting policies as the Group,<br />
except in the cases indicated below under the heading “parent company’s<br />
accounting policies”. the deviations between the parent company’s and the<br />
group’s accounting policies are due to restrictions imposed by the annual<br />
accounts act and the act on Safeguarding pension commitments affecting the<br />
parent company’s ability to apply ifrS, and in some cases for tax reasons. in<br />
addition the Swedish financial reporting Board recommendation rfr 2.1<br />
“accounting for legal entities” has been applied.<br />
Basis for the preparation of the parent company<br />
and group financial statements<br />
the functional currency used by the parent company in its operations is Swedish<br />
kronor and this is also the reporting currency of the parent company and the<br />
Group. this means that the financial statements are presented in Swedish kronor.<br />
all amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are rounded to the nearest million<br />
kronor. assets and liabilities are recognised at their historic cost of acquisition,<br />
with the exception of some financial assets and liabilities, which are stated at their<br />
fair value. financial assets and liabilities stated at their fair value consist of derivative<br />
instruments, such as interest swaps, currency forwards and currency swaps.<br />
in order to present the financial statements in accordance with ifrS, it is<br />
necessary for the company’s management to make assessments, estimates and<br />
assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the stated<br />
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. these estimates and<br />
assumptions are based on past experience and a number of other factors that<br />
are deemed appropriate under the present circumstances. the result of these<br />
estimates and assumptions are subsequently used to determine the recognised<br />
amounts of assets and liabilities that could not otherwise be clearly determined<br />
using other sources. the actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and<br />
assessments.<br />
the estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. changes in<br />
estimates are reported in the period the changes are made if the changes only<br />
impact that period, or in the period the changes are made and future periods if<br />
the changes impact both the current period and future periods.<br />
assessments made by the company management in connection with the<br />
application of ifrS that have a significant impact on the financial statements and<br />
estimates made that may cause significant adjustments to the financial statements<br />
of the following year, are described in more detail in note 30.<br />
the Group’s accounting policies have been applied consistently in all reporting<br />
and consolidation of subsidiaries.<br />
New and amended accounting policies<br />
as of the current financial year Kappahl applies the following standards, interpretations<br />
and amendments, which have not had any material impact on the Group’s<br />
earnings and financial position.<br />
• A change in accounting policy was made relating to IAS 19, Employee benefits.<br />
the policy change has meant that previously undisclosed actuarial gains<br />
