performance, as well as its cash flow. An explicit and unreserved statement must
be made in the notes when the entity complies with all the requirements of IFRS.

In order for the entity to make a fair presentation, it must first apply accounting
policies adjusted to IAS 8, in addition, it is required to present information related

of the company to continue operating must be evaluated. If there is uncertainty

statements significant deficiencies are observed, or there is a change in rules or
interpretation thereof. Likewise, acquisitions or disposals, as well as the review of
the presentation of financial statements, could also suggest a change in their
issuance.

sufficient relative importance are presented separately in the financial statements.

except when the offset is required or permitted by any Standard or Interpretation.

separately.

or Interpretation, comparative information, with respect to the prior period, will be
