Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The statement of financial condition is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which requires management to make judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statement of financial condition and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes estimates regarding valuations of certain financial assets and liabilities, deferred tax recognition, and probable losses from litigation. The Omicron variant continues to spread in many countries, and there is uncertainty about when restrictions introduced in many countries will be eased. However, the negative effects of the COVID-19 crisis on our financial and capital positions remained limited in 2021.
