Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans, income taxes, provision for estimated liabilities and the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision in the accounting estimate is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods. |
