For the case of the minutes of the Shareholders' General Meeting and the Board of Directors, in addition to complying with what is stipulated in the Commercial Code, they must be entered in the corresponding Legal Books. All of the above without prejudice to other legal records required by regulations issued by the Central Bank or by another competent authority.
INTERNAL CONTROL APPLIED TO ACCOUNTING RECORDS
The Provider Company will establish internal control systems aimed at reasonably ensuring the reliability of accounting records, as well as the correct integration of operations. The internal control system may contain aspects such as:
a) Accounting records with the necessary detail of the characteristics of assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses, so that all the information contained in the different statements to be rendered can be clearly derived from them, which will maintain the necessary correlation both among themselves, when applicable, and with the accounting basis; b) Auxiliary detail of the composition of the balance of each of the sub-sub-accounts, in order to possess an adequate integration of the records; c) Inventory or details of the different items, independent of the books of an obligatory nature required by Salvadoran legislation; and d) Independent of the accounts specified to form the Financial Statements, the details deemed necessary for the preparation of the rest of the complementary informative statements will be established, thus developing an analytical accounting that provides sufficient information for the calculation of costs and returns of the different centers, business lines, or other aspects of interest for adequate management control.
REGISTRATION AND ARCHIVING OF ACCOUNTING DOCUMENTATION
The operations registered in the books mentioned in paragraph 9 must be supported by the corresponding documentation and comply with what is established in the Commercial Code, in articles 439 and 446. The Provider Company must archive the documentation that supports its operations, in chronological order, including the Financial Statements prepared monthly and the Trial Balances. The Provider Company is obliged to conserve the records of its business in general as well as its Financial Statements, according to the deadlines established in articles 451 and 455 of the Commercial Code.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF ACCOUNTING
Accounting will be governed according to the following precedence:
a) Salvadoran legislation that establishes specific accounting treatments; b) Accounting standards issued by the Central Bank; and c) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), provided that they develop topics for which there is no Salvadoran regulation. When the Provider Company applies IFRS, it will use those issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with what is established in letter c) of this paragraph. When IFRS provide different treatments for the same economic event, the Provider Company will use the most prudent treatment established in said Standards. Accounting will be developed applying the accounting criteria and fundamental characteristics indicated below:
12.1. Fair Presentation
Financial Statements must be drafted clearly, such that the information provided is understandable and useful for users in making their economic decisions, and must represent the fair image of the phenomena it intends to materialize, the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Provider Company, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions. The systematic and regular application of the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in the following subsections must lead to the Financial Statements representing the fair image of the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Provider Company. To this effect, in the accounting of operations, attention will be paid to their economic reality and not only to their legal form.

Validity: 15/11/2016
When it is considered that compliance with the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in this Manual is not sufficient to represent the fair image, the precise complementary information will be provided in the notes to the Financial Statements to achieve this objective. In those exceptional cases where such compliance would be incompatible with the fair image that the Financial Statements must provide, such application will be considered inappropriate. In such cases, the notes to the Financial Statements will sufficiently reason this circumstance and explain its influence on the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Provider Company.
12.2. Requirements of the Information to be Included in Financial Statements
The information included in the Financial Statements must be relevant and reliable.
Information is relevant when it is useful for making economic decisions, that is, when it helps to evaluate past, present, or future events, or to confirm or correct evaluations made previously. In particular, to meet this requirement, Financial Statements must adequately show the risks to which the Provider Company is exposed. Information is reliable when it is free from material errors and is neutral, that is, it is free from bias and users can trust that it is the fair image of what it intends to represent. A quality derived from reliability is completeness, which is achieved when financial information contains, in a complete manner, all data that can influence decision-making, without any omission of significant information. Additionally, financial information must comply with the qualities of comparability and clarity. Comparability is the quality that financial information has to be able to compare it over time. Information will be formulated with related criteria of identification, valuation, recording, and presentation that allow the possibility of comparing the financial situation, the results achieved, and the compliance with legal provisions of the Provider Company, in different periods or with other similar Provider Companies, with the aim of facilitating the analysis, evaluation, supervision, and audit of management and adequate accountability.

On the other hand, clarity implies that, based on a reasonable knowledge of economic activities, accounting, and corporate finance, users of the Financial Statements, through a diligent examination of the information provided, can form judgments that facilitate decision-making.
12.3. Accounting Principles
The accounting of the Provider Company and, in particular, the recording and valuation of the elements of the Financial Statements, will be developed by obligatorily applying the accounting principles and fundamental hypotheses indicated below:
12.3.1. Going Concern
The management of the Provider Company will be considered indefinite. Financial Statements must be prepared based on the going concern hypothesis. Consequently, the application of accounting principles will not be aimed at determining the value of equity for the purposes of its global or partial alienation nor the resulting amount in case of liquidation. If Financial Statements are not prepared on the basis of going concern and there is doubt about the continuity of the business, such circumstance must be revealed along with the alternative criteria that have been used and the reasons why the Provider Company cannot be considered as a going concern.
12.3.2. Accrual
The effects of transactions or economic events will be recorded when they occur, imputing to the exercise to which the annual Financial Statements refer, the expenses and income that affect it, independent of the date of their payment or collection.
12.3.3. Uniformity
Once a criterion has been adopted in the application of Accounting Principles within the alternatives that, if applicable, allow it, it must be maintained over time as long as the assumptions that motivated the choice of said criterion are not altered. If for justified cause these change, the affected Financial Statements will be accompanied by an explanatory note that allows appreciating the origin of the new criteria and their quantitative and qualitative effect on equity, results, and total assets. Likewise, such changes and their effects will be recorded in the notes to the Financial Statements.

Validity: 15/11/2016
12.3.4. Non-Compensation
Under no circumstances can the items of assets and liabilities of the General Balance Sheet, nor those of expenses and income of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, be offset, unless specifically permitted or required by IFRS, which must be reported to the Superintendence. When this happens, it must be revealed in a note to the Financial Statements.
12.3.5. Materiality
Each item that possesses sufficient relative importance must be presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of insignificant amounts must appear grouped with others of similar nature or function, provided that they are not required to be presented separately. The strict application of some of the accounting principles and criteria will be admitted when the relative importance in quantitative or qualitative terms of the variation that such fact produces is scarcely significant and, consequently, does not alter the expression of the fair image. In cases of conflict between accounting principles, the one that best leads to the Financial Statements expressing the fair image of the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Provider Company shall prevail.

| Financial Statement | Presentation Method | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| General Balance Sheet | Assets and liabilities will be presented according to their term type and whether they are current or non-current. | This presentation method takes into consideration the ease of conversion into cash of assets and the exigibility of payment of liabilities, ignoring whether both are current or non-current. This method is considered appropriate for the Provider Company, because information on expected dates of realization of assets and exigibility of liabilities is useful to evaluate the liquidity and solvency of the Provider Company and provides reliable and more relevant information. The adoption of this method does not exempt the Provider Company from revealing the amounts expected to be recovered or settled in a period less than or equal to one year after the date of the reported period and those to be recovered in a period greater than one year after the date of the reported period. |
| Statement of Comprehensive Income | Expenses will be accounted for applying the Method of the Nature of Expenses and revealing additional items that are considered necessary for the adequate understanding of the financial performance of the Provider Company. | Taking into consideration the nature of the Provider Company, this method of presentation of expenses is considered to provide a reliable and more relevant presentation, as it provides useful information on expenses that are materially representative of the Provider Company, while it can be easy to apply; it is complemented with a detail of expenses that contribute to a better understanding of the financial performance of the Provider Company. |
| Statement of Cash Flows | Direct Method applied to operating, financing, and investment activities. | The advantage of presenting operating activities under the Direct Method is that it provides useful information to estimate future flows, which is not available when the indirect method is applied. |
SECTION 2
PREPARATION, PRESENTATION, DISCLOSURE, AND PUBLICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OBJECTIVE
This Section aims to establish procedures that allow the preparation, presentation, and disclosure of Financial Statements, in accordance with regulatory requirements of the Central Bank's Standards Committee and, where applicable, IFRS, in order to provide the public with sufficient and timely financial information on the financial, economic, and legal situation of Provider Companies.
SCOPE
This Section establishes the models of Financial Statements that the Provider Company must use to present its financial information, as well as the minimum framework of notes to them that they must observe when making disclosures of information for each line of the General Balance Sheet, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows, which must be prepared according to models established in Chapter V of this Manual.
REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The most relevant aspects that must be considered in the presentation and disclosure of Financial Statements are the following:
