Question

We are unsure about how "in the same way as in positive amounts"  in the answer to Q&A 1191 is to be interpretated. Should one when sorting the  liabilities distributed on currencies from highest to lowest either: 1) List negative values below positive (keep signs). 2) Use absolute values. 3) Revert the signs of all values if the reporting currency value is negative. or use a fourth approach?

Answer

We confirm that option 1) "List negative values below positive (keep signs)" is to be used. Example: Assets: 1000 EUR + 10 USD Liabilities: 900 EUR – 10 USD Total Assets: 1010 Total liabilities: 890 In this example you need to report as many currencies as needed to report 90% of assets and liabilities in EUR No need to report USD as 1000 Assets and 900 Liabilities in EUR to comply with the 90% threshold.
