Synopsis
IAS 27 is relevant where an entity has investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and is required to present separate financial statements.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the separate financial statements of the investor either:
- at cost, or
- in accordance with IFRS 9.
The same accounting should be applied to each category of investment.
Dividends from subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates are recognised in profit or loss in the investor’s separate financial statements when a right to receive the dividend is established.
The standard also provides disclosure requirements.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) provides free access to the consolidated unaccompanied international accounting standards for the current year through its website. Free registration is required.
This unaccompanied version does not include additional content that accompanies the full standard, such as illustrative examples, implementation guidance and bases for conclusions.
