Restatement according to IAS 8 to reflect the introduction of a new IT platform for German GAAP and IFRS accounting (in Englisch)

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Commerzbank has successfully implemented a new data processing system for financial reporting. The new “Group Finance Architecture” -platform (GFA) ensures the parallel processing of HGB (German GAAP) and IFRS figures as well as a greater data granularity in order to comply with the increased regulatory requirements.

 The implementation of this new data processing system leads to permanent changes in methodology and amendments. This requires a one-time restatement of the profit and loss account of the first three quarters of 2015 and the year 2014 according to IAS 8 accounting standards. These figures are preliminary and unaudited. The annual report 2015 is scheduled to be published end of March 2016.
