Cassandra Oil AB's accounting principles are based on the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and recommendation RFR 2.3 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board: Accounting for Legal Entities.
RFR 2.3 requires the company to apply all EU-approved IFRS and statements as far as this is possible within the framework of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Pension Obligations Vesting Act, and with regard to the relationship between accounting and taxation. The recommendation sets out the exceptions and supplements which must be made with regard to IFRS.
Exceptions from IFRS
In accordance with the above, the Company uses IFRS as far as this is possible. The following deviations have been made in accordance with RFR 2.3:
- Financial instruments
The company does not use IAS 39: Financial instruments. Instead, accounting and estimates are done with the acquisition price of assets and liabilities as a starting point. - Leasing
The company reports all leasing agreements as though they were operational. - Intangible assets
Expenditure for internally accumulated assets is written off on an ongoing basis. - Untaxed reserves
The amounts allocated as untaxed reserves constitute taxable temporary differences. Because of the relationship between accounting and taxation, the deferred tax liability attributable to the untaxed reserves in the company is not accounted for separately.
