Note 32Subsequent events

Subsequent events are events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of subsequent events and transactions are recognized in the financial statements when they provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. The Corporation has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to September 30, 2012. Such evaluation resulted in no adjustments or additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, other than information updated in the legal proceedings in Note 19.
