3. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the International Financial Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), jointly the “IFRS”. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting fiscal year. Estimates are used when accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, provisions for legal claims and others, depreciation and recoverable value of assets. Actual results could be significantly different from such estimates. The presentation in the statement of financial position distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities. The assets and liabilities are those expected to be realized or settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period under review, and those held for sale. The fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year. The economic and financial results are presented on a fiscal year basis. The consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of Argentine pesos (“Ps.” or “pesos”), which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. For further information, see Note 4.c.
