Material Changes and Accounting Differences
The primary differences between the two reporting standards are attributed to:
- The timing of recognition for the 5% income tax on unappropriated retained earnings.
- Accumulated effects of differences carried over from prior years.
Under IFRSs (used for the SEC filing), reported net profit and comprehensive income are higher, while total liabilities are higher and equity is lower compared to Taiwan IFRSs.
