Effects of new and amended IFRSs
Volkswagen AG has adopted all accounting pronouncements required to be applied starting in fiscal year 2012.
As a consequence of the amendment to IFRS 7 in October 2010, the disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets were supplemented starting in fiscal year 2012. The supplemented disclosures relate both to transferred financial assets that are derecognized in their entirety and to transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety. The other balance sheet disclosures in accordance with IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments) were supplemented in line with this.
New and amended IFRSs not applied
In its 2012 consolidated financial statements, Volkswagen AG did not apply the following accounting pronouncements that have already been adopted by the IASB, but were not yet required to be applied for the fiscal year.
