| Significant accounting estimates and assumptions | Significant accounting estimates and assumptions Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Key estimates and assumptions include: Revenue recognition The identification of revenue-generating contracts with customers, the identification of performance obligations, the determination of the transaction price and allocations between identified performance obligations, the use of the appropriate revenue recognition method for each performance obligation and the measure of progress for performance obligations satisfied over time are the main aspects of the revenue recognition process, all of which require the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions. The Company follows the guidance provided in IFRS 15, Appendix B, Principal versus Agent Considerations for determining whether revenue should be recognized at the gross amount of consideration paid by the customer or the net amount of consideration retained by the Company. This determination is a matter of significant judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of each arrangement. Impairment of non-financial assets The Company’s impairment test for goodwill is based on internal estimates of fair value less costs of disposal calculations and uses valuation models such as the discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of fair value less costs of disposal include an estimated discount rate, terminal value multiple, and estimated revenue growth rate. These estimates, including the methodology used, the assessment of CGUs and how goodwill is allocated, can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any goodwill impairment. Refer to note 15 for additional information on the assumptions used. Whenever property and equipment, lease right-of-use assets, and intangible assets are tested for impairment, the determination of the assets’ recoverable amount involves the use of estimates by management and can have a material impact on the respective values and ultimately the amount of any impairment. Recoverability of deferred tax assets and current and deferred income taxes and tax credits Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. The Company establishes provisions based on reasonable estimates for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Management’s judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies. Share-based compensation The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the related instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share‑based payments requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires making assumptions and determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, interest rate, and dividend yield. Refer to note 24 for additional information on the assumptions used. Provisions The Company is involved in litigation and claims from time to time. There can be no assurance that such litigation and claims will be resolved without costly litigation nor in a manner that does not adversely impact the financial position and operating results of the Company. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. In determining the probability of a loss and consequently determining a reasonable estimate, management is required to use significant judgment. Assumptions applied reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action by the Company at the time, but these too may differ over time. Given the uncertainties associated with any litigation, the actual outcome can be different from the Company's estimates and could adversely affect the financial position and operating results of the Company. Internally generated intangible assets The Company recognizes internal development costs as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset exists, there is an intent to complete and an ability to use or sell the intangible asset, the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, there are adequate resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and there is the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
