Accounting for Groups
• Definition of group
– Exists where one enterprise controls, either
directly or indirectly, another enterprise
– Consists of a parent and its subsidiaries
(IFRS 10)
• Parent
– An entity that controls one or more entities
• Subsidiary
– An entity that is controlled by another entity
Accounting for Groups [IFRS 10]
• Control
– An investor controls an investee when it is
exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and
has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the investee

Control

Rights to variable Ability to affect Power over


returns variable returns investee
7
Accounting for Groups
• Investor has control over investee if
investor has ALL the following:
– power over the investee;
– exposure, or rights, to variable returns from
its involvement with the investee; and
– the ability to use its power over the investee
to affect the amount of the investor’s returns
Test of Control : Power

• existing Rights that give


investor the current ability to direct
Power the relevant activities

• activities that significantly


affect the investee’s returns
Relevant
Activities

9
Test of Control : Power
• Examples of rights include:
– voting rights (or potential voting rights) of an investee
– rights to appoint, reassign or remove members of an
investee’s key management personnel who have the
ability to direct the relevant activities;
– rights to appoint or remove another entity that directs
the relevant activities;
– rights to direct the investee to enter into, or veto any
changes to, transactions for the benefit of the investor;
and
– other rights (such as decision-making rights specified in
a management contract) that give the holder the ability
to direct the relevant activities
Test of Control : Power
• Potential voting rights
– Instruments which have the potential, if exercised or
converted, to give the entity voting power
• E.g. share options, convertible notes
– Given due consideration when assessing ‘capacity to control’
– As per Basis for Conclusions to IFRS 10
• Potential voting rights can give the holder the current
ability to direct the relevant activities
• This will be the case if those rights are substantive and on
exercise or conversion (when considered together with
any other existing rights the holder has) they give the
holder the current ability to direct the relevant activities
• The holder of such potential voting rights is, in effect, in
the same position as a passive majority shareholder
Test of Control : Power
• Delegation of power
– Whether power to be exerted over the entity is being
used in the context of an agency relationship, or is
power being exercised to benefit the investor directly
– If an entity has power, but is acting under the direction of
another entity - perhaps as an ‘agent’ of that other entity -
then control would not be deemed to exist and the entity
would not be required to consolidate the entity over which it
had power
Test of Control : Power
• Examples of relevant activity include:
a) selling and purchasing of goods or services;
b) managing financial assets during their life (including
upon default);
c) selecting, acquiring or disposing of assets;
d) researching and developing new products or
processes; and
e) determining a funding structure or obtaining funding.

13
Test of Control : Variable Returns

as a result
of the performance of an investee
Variable • can be only positive, only negative or
Returns both positive and negative


from its involvement as a result of the
investee’s performance
Exposure/ • assessed based on substance of
arrangement regardless of legal form of
Rights returns

14
Test of Control : Variable Returns
• Examples of include:
a) Dividends, interest and changes in the value of
the investment
b) remuneration for servicing assets or liabilities
c) fees and exposure to loss from providing credit or
liquidity support
d) returns that are not available to other interest
holders
Test of Control : Power & Returns
• Link between power and returns
– ability to use its power to affect the investor’s
returns from its involvement with the investee
– an investor with decision-making rights shall
determine whether it is a principal or an agent.
– an agent does not control an investee when it
exercises decision-making rights delegated to it
Accounting Requirements
• An entity that is a parent shall present
consolidated financial statements
• Results and financial position of a group as if it
were operating as a single economic entity
– consolidated statement of profit or loss & other
comprehensive income will show the financial
results derived from operations with external parties
– consolidated statement of financial position will
show the total assets controlled by the economic
entity and the total liabilities owed to parties outside
the economic entity
Accounting Requirements
• Example: P owns 80% of S

P Income/Assets

External
80%

S Expenses/Liabilities
20%

Non-Controlling Interest
Accounting Requirements
• Non-Controlling Interest
– Equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly
or indirectly, to a parent [IFRS 10]
– Non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate
share in net assets of subsidiary
– Represented by shareholders’ capital
contribution and their share of reserves

References: Tan, L.T (2013); Ng, E.J et al. (2013)

Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position
• Principles in preparing consolidated statement
of financial position [IFRS 10]:
– Add together items owned/owed by each entity
(e.g. assets owned; liabilities to external parties)
– Cancellation of like items internal to group (e.g.
intra-group transactions/debts)
– Consolidate as if group owned everything and then
show extent to which group does not own
everything
– Consolidated statements should be prepared using
uniform accounting policies for like transactions and
other events in similar circumstances
Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position

Should NOT show

Share capital
Unrealised
Investment & pre-
profits,
in subsidiary acquisition
intragroup
account reserves of
debt/trading
subsidiary
Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position
• Eliminate investment in subsidiary account
– Cost of investment account in the holding
company relates to net assets of the subsidiary
– Eliminated to avoid double-counting since
consolidated statements presented as single
entity
– Not meaningful to show entity having “investment
in itself”
Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position
• Elimination of subsidiary’s equity
– Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are added
together with those of the holding company
– Since net assets = equity, adding the subsidiary’s
owners’ equity into consolidated statements would
be double-counting the same set of numbers
• Elimination of intragroup transactions
– Intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income,
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between entities of the group are eliminated in full
Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position
• Points to note:
– Share capital shown is the share capital of the
parent only
– Reserves shown comprise of reserves of the
parent, plus the group’s share of the profits earned
by subsidiary less any dividends paid by subsidiary
– Amount by which subsidiary is financed by
outsiders is presented under Non-Controlling
Interests (NCI) within equity but separate from
parent’s shareholders
• NCI: Equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or
indirectly, to a parent
