New accounting policies for greater transparency
TrustBuddy has transitioned to reporting in accordance with the new K3 regulatory framework. K3 is mandatory for companies that are classified as large under the Annual Accounts Act. The company is also enacting this transition in the interest of ultimately providing an illustration of the company’s activities that is as fair and accurate as possible.
In conjunction with the transition to K3, TrustBuddy have simultaneously opted to implement some other accounting-policy amendments to further increase transparency. One of the most important amendments pertains to interest income that is transferred directly onward to TrustBuddy’s members.
Through the third quarter of 2013, this income was recognized as an income and an expense of equal amount. In practice, these two interest items cancel each other out, hence their elimination from the statement of profit or loss as of the fourth quarter of 2014.
As a result of this amendment, out sales appear to shrink, though it in fact has no impact whatsoever on the company’s profitability.
To facilitate the assessment of TrustBuddy’s actual growth, we will be stating figures in this report using both the new and old accounting policies, including figures from the past.
