Consolidated cash flow statement 2011
The reporting on cash flows within the Group is based on IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”. In addition, we observed the principles set out in German Accounting Standard No. 2 (DRS 2) of the German Accounting Standards Board regarding the preparation of cash flow statements, which were supplemented by the requirements of DRS 2-20 that apply specifically to insurance enterprises. In accordance with the recommendation of the German Accounting Standards Board for insurance enterprises, we adopted the indirect method of presentation. The amounts taken into consideration are limited to cash and cash equivalents shown under the balance sheet item “Cash”.
