Movement of Concepts between Calculation Trees (IFRS)

Rule function

The rule identifies inappropriate calculation descendants of investing, financing or operating items in the company’s extension filing for the statement of cash flows. This rule identifies the calculation children of investing, financing or operating elements in the calculation linkbase of the IFRS taxonomy and compares the set of elements to the calculation children used in the company’s extension calculation linkbase. The rule creates a set of elements from the IFRS taxonomy (under each category) and compares the set to the children of the element in the extension taxonomy and flags an error if the two sets intersect. This rule compares the sets listed in the index below.

Problem solved by the rule

This rule identifies where investing, financing or operating items have been mischaracterized in the calculation linkbase for the cash flow statement. This rule identifies where filers may have used the incorrect element in the cash flow statement.

Example rule message

Please review the calculations defined for the cash flow statement to determine that the correct element has been used for this item.
