AMP's reporting template for AXA
AMP Limited has announced a reporting template to cover its merger with AXA Asia Pacific, including reclassifying the operating earnings of AXA Financial Planning and Charter Financial Planning.
In an announcement released to the Australian Securities Exchange today, AMP said that while it would integrate AXA with its AMP Financial Services and AMP Capital Investors business units, AXA’s financial results for the period from 1 April to 30 June, 2011, would be reported separately.
It said it would be undertaking a number of reclassifications that would impact AXA’s operating earnings, including moving the operating earnings of AXA Financial Planning and Charter Financial Planning from investment experience to AXA’s operating earnings.
It said it would also allocate AXA employee long-term incentive costs to AXA operating earnings.
AMP is scheduled to release its results on 18 August.
