OR; Vierte Abteilung: Handelsregister, Geschäftsfirmen und kaufmännische Buchführung; Zweiunddreissigster Titel: Kaufmännische Buchführung, Rechnungslegung, weitere Transparenz- und Sorgfaltspflichten ; Zweiter Abschnitt: Jahresrechnung und Zwischenabschluss ; D. Bewertung; I. Grundsätze
Art. 960 OR
Aktiven und Verbindlichkeiten werden in der Regel einzeln bewertet, sofern sie wesentlich sind und aufgrund ihrer Gleichartigkeit für die Bewertung nicht üblicherweise als Gruppe zusammengefasst werden.
Die Bewertung muss vorsichtig erfolgen, darf aber die zuverlässige Beurteilung der wirtschaftlichen Lage des Unternehmens nicht verhindern.
Bestehen konkrete Anzeichen für eine Überbewertung von Aktiven oder für zu geringe Rückstellungen, so sind die Werte zu überprüfen und gegebenenfalls anzupassen.
