KONE’s accounting principles are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, observing the standards and interpretations effective on the date of the financial statements. The accounting principles applied in each financial period are presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the corresponding year and can be found in the Annual Review of the year in question.
