Definition

This parameter relates to the calculation of the "Relative Difference" column, which is output in the financial statements.

You can use the "Comparison Type" field to choose between two calculation methods:

The percentage difference compared to the comparison value is calculated using the following formula:

Comparison type 1

Relative difference = (reporting period balance - comparison balance) * 100 / absolute value (comparison balance)

Comparison type 2

Relative difference = (reporting period balance * 100) / absolute value (comparison balance)

Comparison type 3

Relative difference = (reporting period balance - comparison balance) * 100 / comparison balance

Comparison type 4

Relative difference = (reporting period balance * 100) / comparison balance

The comparison balance is the balance of the previous year.

Dependencies

For comparison type 1 and comparison type 2, the plus/minus sign of the relative deviation corresponds with the absolute deviation. In other words, if the amount of the absolute deviation is negative, the percentage of the relative deviance has a negative sign.

In the case of comparison types 3 and 4, the sign is dictated by accounting logic. Since credit amounts are portrayed with a minus sign, this means that, if the reporting period balance minus the comparison balance produces a result greater than zero, this leads to a decrease of the credit balance, and consequently, the relative difference in this case has a different sign to the absolute difference.
