Below is a description of the main adjustments from the adoption of IFRS:
1) Adjustment to the recoverable value of loans and advances
Impairment of loans and advances were established based on the history of losses and other information about the clients of the organization at the balance sheet date and clear evidences that show losses had occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset (concept of loss incurred), while in BR GAAP, the concept of expected losses is used.
2) Business combinations
Under IFRS, the identifiable assets and liabilities in business combinations were adjusted for differences in accounting practices, and recognized at their fair value, based on a study report on purchase price allocation (PPA). In addition, goodwill is not amortized, but tested periodically to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.
The complete consolidated financial statements under IFRS, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, followed by the independent auditors´ report on the consolidated financial statements, without any modification, issued by KPMG Independent Auditors, are available on our website www.bradesco.com.br/ir.
