Parameter allocation - Balance sheet liabilities

Usage instructions and tips

  1. If you have any doubts about any item, you can always ask from us. Very often a parameter with same name should be allocated to different item depending on company and situation. I.e., even though there are many common rules, there are many situations that have to be solved case-by-case.
  2. Sometimes it is difficult to say only based on balance sheet information how to handle an item. In these cases Notes to financial statements may tell you the answer.
  3. Size matters, especially relative size. It is not very relevant where to put 10 millions in the balance sheet if it totals to 10 billions. So the bigger the item, the more it has relevance and more you should consider it.
