Preparation of historical financial information

Share issuers on regulated markets in the EU will have audited historical financial information in their securities prospectus, and an audit opinion for each financial statement covered. Typically, this audited historic financial information will be shown on the basis of consolidated financial statements. These statements in turn must be based on IFRS accounting.

Frequently combined statements and pro forma financial information is included in the securities prospectus. This is necessary if significant transactions by the issuer have taken place prior to going public, or the issuer’s business activities were merged to form a single legal entity specifically for the purpose of going public. Both forms of information processing regularly pose challenges for the issuer in terms of achieving an accurate and compliant representation.
