IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

Subsidiary - An entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a partnership that is controlled by another entity (the parent). Control - The power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Note - Substance over Form approach. Separate Financial Statements - Those presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venturer in a jointly controlled entity in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest, rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees. Consolidated Financial Statements - The financial statements of a group presented as those of a single economic entity. Consolidated financial statements shall include all subsidiaries of the parent (entities controlled by the parent) Indications of Control: Ownership - power over more than half of the voting rights; Policies - power to govern the financial and operating policies; Board of Directors - power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body; or Voting rights of directors - power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors Consolidation Procedures: Combine the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line by adding together similar items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Eliminate the carrying amount of the parents investment in each subsidiary and the parents portion of equity of each subsidiary and recognize goodwill as appropriate (see IFRS 3 Business Combinations). Identify non-controlling interests (NCIs) in the profit or loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the reporting period. Identify NCIs in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries separately from the parent shareholders equity. NCIs interest in the net assets consist of: - The amount of those NCIs at the date of the original combination calculated in accordance with IFRS 3; and The NCIs share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Intra-group balances,transactions,income and expenses are eliminated in full. Issues: Potential voting rights are taken into account to determine control, but consolidation based on present ownership interest. Financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements shall be prepared as of the same reporting date. Reporting dates of subsidiaries and the parent shall be no more than three months apart. Consolidated financial statements shall be prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. NCIs shall be presented in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners and parent. Exemptions from Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements: The parent is a wholly owned subsidiary and the owners have been informed about the decision; The parents debt or equity instruments are not publicly traded; The parent did not file its financial statements with a securities commission or other regulator for the purposes of issuing its shares to the public; AND The ultimate or intermediate parent of the parent produces consolidated financial statements that comply with IFRS. Loss of Control: A parent can lose control of a subsidiary through a sale or distribution, or through some other transaction or event in which it takes no part (e.g. bankruptcy). When control is lost, the parent derecognizes all assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts and derecognizes NCIs. Any retained interest in the former subsidiary is recognized at fair value at the disposal date. If the loss of control of the former subsidiary involves the distribution of equity interests to owners of the parent acting in their capacity as owners, that distribution is recognized at the date control is lost. Acquisitions and disposals that do not result in a change of control: These are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. no profit/loss or goodwill can be recognized.
