Study Notes
IFRS Regulation - Consolidation
- IFRS regulation emphasizes the importance of consolidated financial reports for groups of entities.
- IFRS 10 is a key standard within the consolidation package (including IFRS 11 and 12, dated 2011), focusing on investor control over investees.
- Main accounting standards for consolidation include IFRS 10, IFRS 3, IAS 28, IFRS 11, and IAS 27.
- IFRS 10 establishes principles for preparing consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities.
- Key elements for meeting the objective of IFRS 10:
- Requires an entity holding control to present consolidated financial statements for its subsidiaries. -Defines and establishes the principle of "control" as the basis for consolidation. -Outlines applying control principles to determine whether an investor has control over an investee.
- Understanding when to consolidate a group of companies can require careful judgment.
- Consolidated reporting is typically the best way to represent most companies.
- A group exists when one entity controls another. The controlling entity prepares the consolidated report.
IFRS 10 - Parent Company Exceptions
- IFRS 10 applies to all entities, except when:
- The entity is a wholly or partially owned subsidiary with all other owners informed and not objecting to not preparing consolidated statements.
- The entity does not file (and is not in the process of filing) financial statements with a securities commission or other regulatory body.
- The entity's ultimate or any intermediate parent produces consolidated financial reports that are public and follow IFRS regulations.
IFRS 10 - Control Principles
- Control exists when the investor has all of these elements:
- Power over the investee
- Exposure or rights to variable returns from involvement with the investee
- Ability to use power over the investee to affect the investor's returns.
- Relevant activities significantly affect the investee's returns.
- Examples of rights (giving power): Voting rights, rights to appoint/remove personnel, rights to relevant activities, etc.
- Rights must be substantive (no obstacles, easily exercised)
- Assessing rights requires judgment and case-by-case analysis.
Other IFRS Considerations
- No entities are excluded from producing consolidated reports.
- Be mindful of definitions of ownership and exemptions from presenting consolidated information (as presented in the textbook's sections 105-106).
- Investment in other entities can use varying accounting methods (consolidated statements, equity method, fair value method) depending on the level of control or influence.
