IFRS vs Segment Reporting

investor-about-1×1

<h3>IFRS vs Segment Reporting</h3>
<p>The difference between applying segment reporting and IFRS is that the income from sales of residential units, in accordance with the previous applied accounting method, is accounted for when the project is sold to the tenant-owner association. The income is then reported according to the percentage-of-completion method.</p>
<p>As a consequence of changing reporting method, it is the homebuyer of the apartment, and not the tenant-owner association, that is identified as Aros Bostad’s customer. After the change of accounting standard, the income is reported when the customer moves in. Before the customer moves in, the residential unit is treated as a current asset under the line-item development properties.</p>
<p>Aros Bostad intends to continue to report in accordance with both accounting methods and finds that segment reporting gives a more complete view of the Company’s business, which is also in line with the Company’s internal reporting.</p>
