Basis of presentation of operating results
– Expenses are matched against the revenues to which
they relate. Indirect expenses, such as overhead expenses and any revenue that may be associated
thereto, are allocated to the operating groups using appropriate allocation formulas applied on a
consistent basis. For each currency, the net income effect of funds transferred from any group with
a surplus to any group with a shortfall is at market rates for the currency and appropriate term.
Segmentation of assets by geographic region is based upon the geographic location of the unit
responsible for managing the related assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Provisions for credit
losses allocated to the operating groups are based on expected losses over an economic cycle.
Differences between expected loss provisions and required provisions under GAAP are allocated to the
Corporate Support Group. Periodically, certain lines of business and units within them are transferred
between operating groups to more closely align BMO’s organizational structure and its strategic
priorities. All comparative figures are restated to give effect to the transfers. During the year, the
Cash Management Services business was transferred from Technology and Solutions to Investment
Banking Group.
