1.2 BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.2.1 RELEVANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The 2021 separate financial statements ( financial statements ) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) issued by the International Ac- counting Standards Board ( IASB ) and endorsed by the European Union. IFRS also includes all International Accounting Standards ( IAS ) and interpretations of the International Financial Report- ing Interpretations Committee ( IFRIC ), previously known as the Standing Interpretations Committee ( SIC ).
The financial statements include the statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and the explanatory notes to the financial statements.
1.2.2 PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company presents its income statement by destination, the method that is considered most representative for the business at hand. This method is in fact consistent with the internal reporting and management of the business.
With reference to the statement of financial position, a basis of presentation has been chosen which makes a distinction be- tween current and non-current assets and liabilities, in accord- ance with the provisions of paragraph 60 and thereafter of IAS 1.
The statement of cash flows is prepared under the indirect method.
1.2.3 BASIS FOR MEASUREMENT
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the measurement of certain financial instru- ments (i.e. derivative measured at fair value in accordance with IF- RS 9) and on a going concern basis.
The financial statements are presented in thousand euros, which is the functional currency of the markets where the Compa- ny mainly operates.
The explanatory notes have been prepared in thousands of Euros unless stated otherwise.
1.2.4 DIRECTORS ASSESSMENT ON THE ASSUMPTION OF BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Based on the results of the current year and forecasts for future years, the management believes that there are no factors render- ing business continuity uncertain. In particular, the Group s fi- nancial strength and its cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year guarantee a high level of financial independence to sup- port Moncler s operational needs and development programmes. For 2021, business operations are fully guaranteed, both in terms of product offerings across the various markets and distribution channels and in the ability to manage and organise business ac- tivities.
1.2.5 USE OF ESTIMATES AND VALUATIONS
The preparation of the financial statements and the related ex- planatory notes in conformity with IFRS requires that manage- ment makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent as- sets and liabilities at the reporting date. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and any variation is reflected in the income statement in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or even in subsequent periods if the revision af- fects both current and future periods.
In the event that management s estimate and judgment have a significant impact on the amounts recognised in the finan- cial statements or in case that there is a risk of future adjustments
