Restatement of 2012 - IAS 19
On 1 January 2013, certain changes became effective in IAS 19 (Employee benefits) concerning defined benefit plans altering the way the value of plan assets and pension obligations are calculated and presented. Historically, using the so-called "corridor method", actuarial differences within 10% of the plan asset value or the value of the defined benefit obligation, respectively, were not recognized in the financial statements. Following the changes in IAS 19, all such differences have to be recognized in the balance sheet. In addition, the changes in IAS 19 impact the income statement due to that the expected return rate on plan assets will have to be set to the discount rate as is used for the calculation of the defined benefit obligation liability, instead of applying a fair estimate of the return rate as was made earlier.
