Changes in Accounting Policies
Please refer to the “Changes in Accounting Policies” section of our 2025 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2025 annual report, as well as note 1 of our consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, for information regarding changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments about the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Please refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” section of our 2025 annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is contained in our 2025 annual report, for additional information. Since the date of our 2025 annual management’s discussion and analysis, there have not been any significant changes to our critical accounting estimates and judgments.
We continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, reflecting ongoing geopolitical risk, uneven economic growth and an evolving interest rate and inflationary backdrop, among other factors. While we are closely monitoring these conditions to assess potential impacts on our businesses, some of management’s estimates and judgments may be more variable and may change materially in the future due to the significant uncertainty created by these circumstances.

Revisions to segment results
In the first quarter of 2026, we changed our segment reporting to reflect how we currently manage our segments. The change reflects the transfer of certain customers and their related revenues and expenses among our Legal Professionals, Corporates and Tax, Audit & Accounting Professionals segments. These changes impact the financial results of our segments, but do not change our consolidated financial results. The following summarizes the changes to the applicable segment's reported amounts.

Disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in applicable U.S. and Canadian securities law) as of the end of the period covered by this management’s discussion and analysis, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that all information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or furnish under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act and applicable Canadian securities law is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2026 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
