BASIS FOR CONCLUSIONS

International Financial Reporting Standard 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12) is set out in paragraphs 1⁠–⁠31 and Appendices A⁠–⁠D. All the paragraphs have equal authority. Paragraphs in bold type state the main principles. Terms defined in Appendix A are in italics the first time they appear in the IFRS. Definitions of other terms are given in the Glossary for International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRS 12 should be read in the context of its objective and the Basis for Conclusions, the Preface to IFRS Standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in the absence of explicit guidance.

The objective of this IFRS is to require an entity to disclose information that enables users [Refer:Conceptual Framework paragraphs 1.2⁠–⁠1.10 and 2.36] of its financial statements to evaluate:

(a)

the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; and

(b)

the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

(i)

the nature of its interest in another entity or arrangement;

(ii)

the type of joint arrangement in which it has an interest (paragraphs 7⁠–⁠9);

(iii)

that it meets the definition of an investment entity, if applicable (paragraph 9A); and

3

If the disclosures required by this IFRS, together with disclosures required by other IFRSs, do not meet the objective in paragraph 1, an entity shall disclose whatever additional information is necessary to meet that objective.

4

An entity shall consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure objective and how much emphasis to place on each of the requirements in this IFRS. It shall aggregate or disaggregate disclosures so that useful information is not obscured by either the inclusion of a large amount of insignificant detail or the aggregation of items that have different characteristics (see paragraphs B2⁠–⁠B6). [Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC8D and BC8E]

Scope

5

This IFRS shall be applied by an entity that has an interest in any of the following:

(a)

subsidiaries

(b)

joint arrangements (ie joint operations or joint ventures)

(c)

associates

(d)

unconsolidated structured entities.

5A

Except as described in paragraph B17, the requirements in this IFRS apply to an entity’s interests listed in paragraph 5 that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

6

This IFRS does not apply to:

(i)

when that interest is an interest in an associate or a joint venture that, in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, is measured at fair value [Refer:IFRS 13] through profit or loss; or

[IFRIC® Update, January 2015, Agenda Decision, ‘IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities—disclosures for a subsidiary with a material non-controlling interest’

The Interpretations Committee received a request for clarification in respect of the requirements in paragraphs 12(e)⁠–⁠(g) of IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities to disclose information about a subsidiary that has non-controlling interests that are material to the reporting entity.

The submitter asked whether the information required by paragraphs 12(e)⁠–⁠(g) should be provided:

(a)

at the subsidiary level (ie the ‘legal’ entity) and be based on the separate financial statements of the individual subsidiary; or

(b)

at a subgroup level for the subgroup of the subsidiary together with its investees and be based either on (i) the amounts of the subgroup included in the consolidated financial statements of the reporting entity; or (ii) the amounts included in consolidated financial statements of the subgroup; noting that transactions and balances between the subgroup and other entities outside the subgroup would not be eliminated.

The Interpretations Committee noted that, within the context of the disclosure objective in paragraph 10 of IFRS 12, materiality should be assessed by the reporting entity on the basis of the consolidated financial statements of the reporting entity. In this assessment, a reporting entity would consider both quantitative considerations (ie the size of the subsidiary) and qualitative considerations (ie the nature of the subsidiary).

The Interpretations Committee noted that the decision on which approach is used to present the disclosures required by paragraphs 12(e)⁠–⁠(g) should reflect the one that best meets the disclosure objective of paragraph 10 of IFRS 12 in the circumstances. According to this objective, ‘An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial statements to understand (i) the composition of the group; and (ii) the interest that non-controlling interests have in the group’s activities and cash flows’.

The Interpretations Committee observed that this judgement would be made separately for each subsidiary or subgroup that has a material non-controlling interest.

Disclosures required by paragraphs 12(e) and (f) of IFRS 12

The Interpretations Committee observed that a reporting entity would meet the requirements in paragraphs 12(e) and (f) by disclosing disaggregated information from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements of the reporting entity in respect of subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the reporting entity. The Interpretations Committee further observed that a reporting entity should apply judgement in determining the level of disaggregation of this information; that is, whether:

(a)

the entity presents this information about the subgroup of the subsidiary that has a material non-controlling interest (present the required information on the basis of the subsidiary together with its investees); or

(b)

it is necessary in achieving the disclosure objective in paragraph 10 of IFRS 12 to disaggregate the information further to present information about individual subsidiaries that have material non-controlling interests within that subgroup.

Disclosures required by paragraph 12(g) of IFRS 12

The Interpretations Committee observed that:

(a)

paragraph 12(g) requires summarised information about the subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the reporting entity;

(b)

paragraph B10(b) states that an entity shall disclose ‘summarised financial information about the assets, liabilities, profit or loss and cash flows of the subsidiary that enables users to understand the interest that non-controlling interests have in the group’s activities and cash flows. That information might include but is not limited to, for example, current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities, non-current liabilities, revenue, profit or loss and total comprehensive income’; and

(c)

paragraph B11 states that the ‘summarised financial information required by paragraph B10(b) shall be the amounts before inter-company eliminations’.

The Interpretations Committee observed that in order to meet the disclosure objective in paragraph B10(b), that information would need to be prepared on a basis that was consistent with the information included in the consolidated financial statements of the reporting entity. The Interpretations Committee understood this to mean that the information would be prepared from the perspective of the reporting entity. For example, if the subsidiary was acquired in a business combination, the amounts disclosed should reflect the effects of the acquisition accounting.

The Interpretations Committee further observed that in providing the information required by paragraph 12(g) the entity would apply judgement in determining whether:

(a)

the entity presents this information about the subgroup of the subsidiary that has a material non-controlling interest (ie, it presents the required information on the basis of the subsidiary together with its investees); or

(b)

it is necessary in achieving the disclosure objective in paragraph 10 of IFRS 12 to disaggregate the information further to present information about individual subsidiaries that have material non-controlling interests within that subgroup.

However, the Interpretations Committee noted that the information provided in respect of paragraph 12(g) would include transactions between the subgroup/subsidiary and other members of the reporting entity’s group without elimination in order to meet the requirements in paragraph B11 of IFRS 12. The transactions within the subgroup would be eliminated.

On the basis of this analysis, the Interpretations Committee determined that, in the light of the existing IFRS requirements, sufficient guidance exists and that neither an Interpretation nor an amendment to a Standard was necessary. Consequently, the Interpretations Committee decided not to add this issue to its agenda.]

The nature and extent of significant restrictions

13

An entity shall disclose:

(a)

significant restrictions (eg statutory, contractual and regulatory restrictions) on its ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the group, such as:

(i)

those that restrict the ability of a parent or its subsidiaries to transfer cash or other assets to (or from) other entities within the group.

(ii)

guarantees or other requirements that may restrict dividends and other capital distributions being paid, or loans and advances being made or repaid, to (or from) other entities within the group.

Description of significant restrictions on entity's ability to access or use assets and settle liabilities of group Disclosure Text825700

(b)

the nature and extent to which protective rights of non‑controlling interests can significantly restrict the entity’s ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the group (such as when a parent is obliged to settle liabilities of a subsidiary before settling its own liabilities, or approval of non‑controlling interests is required either to access the assets or to settle the liabilities of a subsidiary).

[IFRIC® Update, January 2015, Agenda Decision, ‘IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities—Disclosure of summarised financial information about material joint ventures or associates’

The Interpretations Committee received a request to clarify the requirement to disclose summary financial information on material joint ventures or associates in paragraph 21(b)(ii) of IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and its interaction with the aggregation principle in paragraphs 4 and B2⁠–⁠B6 of IFRS 12.

The submitter asserts that there are two ways in which to interpret the application of those paragraphs. Either the information required in paragraph 21(b)(ii) of IFRS 12 can be disclosed in aggregate for all material joint ventures or associates, or such information should be disclosed individually for each material joint venture or associate.

The submitter also asked the Interpretations Committee to clarify the requirements in paragraph 21(b)(ii) of IFRS 12 when the information relates to a listed joint venture or associate, and local regulatory requirements would prevent the investor from disclosing such information until the joint venture or associate has released its own financial statements. Would the investor be excused from disclosing the information?

The Interpretations Committee noted that it expected the requirement in paragraph 21(b)(ii) of IFRS 12 to lead to the disclosure of summarised information on an individual basis for each joint venture or associate that is material to the reporting entity (ie this information should not be presented in aggregate for all material joint ventures or associates). The Interpretations Committee observed that this reflects the IASB's intentions as described in paragraph BC50 of IFRS 12.

The Interpretations Committee also noted that there is no provision in IFRS 12 that permits the non-disclosure of the information required in paragraph 21(b)(ii) of IFRS 12.

The Interpretations Committee was made aware of another concern relating to the disclosures required by IFRS 12 for joint ventures or associates in paragraphs 21(b)(ii), and paragraphs B12 and B13. Some think that these paragraphs do not specify the basis on which an entity should prepare the required summarised financial information for joint ventures and associates. The question raised is whether this information should be presented for each material joint venture or associate on an individual basis, or whether this information should be disclosed for the subgroup of the joint venture or associate together with its investees.

The Interpretations Committee observed that a reporting entity should present the summarised financial information required by paragraph 21(b)(ii) about a joint venture or an associate that is material to the reporting entity based on the consolidated financial statements for the joint venture or associate, if it has subsidiaries. If it does not have subsidiaries, the presentation should be based on the financial statements of the joint venture or associate in which its own joint ventures or associates are equity-accounted. The Interpretations Committee noted that these views are consistent with paragraph B14(a), which states that ‘the amounts included in the IFRS financial statements of the joint venture or associate shall be adjusted to reflect adjustments made by the entity using the equity method, such as fair value adjustments made at the time of acquisition and adjustments for differences in accounting policies’.

The Interpretations Committee analysed the results of the outreach request performed by the staff. This outreach indicated that no significant diversity has been observed in the application of IFRS 12 related to these issues.

In the light of the existing IFRS requirements, and on the basis of the outreach results received, the Interpretations Committee determined that neither an Interpretation nor an amendment to a Standard was necessary and therefore decided not to add this issue to its agenda.]

Appendices

Appendix ADefined terms

This appendix is an integral part of the IFRS.

income from a structured entity

For the purpose of this IFRS, income from a structured entity includes, but is not limited to, recurring and non‑recurring fees, interest, dividends, gains or losses on the remeasurement or derecognition of interests in structured entities and gains or losses from the transfer of assets and liabilities to the structured entity.

interest in another entity

For the purpose of this IFRS, an interest in another entity refers to contractual and non‑contractual involvement that exposes an entity to variability of returns from the performance of the other entity. An interest in another entity can be evidenced by, but is not limited to, the holding of equity or debt instruments as well as other forms of involvement such as the provision of funding, liquidity support, credit enhancement and guarantees. It includes the means by which an entity has control or joint control of, or significant influence over, another entity. An entity does not necessarily have an interest in another entity solely because of a typical customer supplier relationship.

Paragraphs B7⁠–⁠B9 provide further information about interests in other entities.

Paragraphs B55⁠–⁠B57 of IFRS 10 explain variability of returns.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC107⁠–⁠BC110]
structured entity

An entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.

Paragraphs B22⁠–⁠B24 provide further information about structured entities.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC82⁠–⁠BC85]

The following terms are defined in IAS 27 (as amended in 2011), IAS 28 (as amended in 2011), IFRS 10 and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and are used in this IFRS with the meanings specified in those IFRSs:

Appendix BApplication guidance

This appendix is an integral part of the IFRS. It describes the application of paragraphs 1⁠–⁠31 and has the same authority as the other parts of the IFRS.

B1

The examples in this appendix portray hypothetical situations. Although some aspects of the examples may be present in actual fact patterns, all relevant facts and circumstances of a particular fact pattern would need to be evaluated when applying IFRS 12.

Aggregation (paragraph 4)

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC80 and BC81]

B2

An entity shall decide, in the light of its circumstances, how much detail it provides to satisfy the information needs of users, [Refer:Conceptual Framework paragraphs 1.2⁠–⁠1.10 and 2.36] how much emphasis it places on different aspects of the requirements and how it aggregates the information. It is necessary to strike a balance between burdening financial statements with excessive detail that may not assist users of financial statements and obscuring information as a result of too much aggregation.

B3

An entity may aggregate the disclosures required by this IFRS for interests in similar entities if aggregation is consistent with the disclosure objective and the requirement in paragraph B4, and does not obscure the information provided. An entity shall disclose how it has aggregated its interests in similar entities.

B5

In determining whether to aggregate information, an entity shall consider quantitative and qualitative information about the different risk and return characteristics of each entity it is considering for aggregation and the significance of each such entity to the reporting entity. The entity shall present the disclosures in a manner that clearly explains to users of financial statements [Refer:Conceptual Framework paragraphs 1.2⁠–⁠1.10 and 2.36] the nature and extent of its interests in those other entities.

B6

Examples of aggregation levels within the classes of entities set out in paragraph B4 that might be appropriate are:

(a)

nature of activities (eg a research and development entity, a revolving credit card securitisation entity).

(b)

industry classification.

(c)

geography (eg country or region).

Interests in other entities

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC107⁠–⁠BC110]

B7

An interest in another entity refers to contractual and non‑contractual involvement that exposes the reporting entity to variability of returns from the performance of the other entity. Consideration of the purpose and design of the other entity may help the reporting entity when assessing whether it has an interest in that entity and, therefore, whether it is required to provide the disclosures in this IFRS. That assessment shall include consideration of the risks that the other entity was designed to create and the risks the other entity was designed to pass on to the reporting entity and other parties.

B8

A reporting entity is typically exposed to variability of returns from the performance of another entity by holding instruments (such as equity or debt instruments issued by the other entity) or having another involvement that absorbs variability. For example, assume a structured entity holds a loan portfolio. The structured entity obtains a credit default swap from another entity (the reporting entity) to protect itself from the default of interest and principal payments on the loans. The reporting entity has involvement that exposes it to variability of returns from the performance of the structured entity because the credit default swap absorbs variability of returns of the structured entity.

B9

Some instruments are designed to transfer risk from a reporting entity to another entity. Such instruments create variability of returns for the other entity but do not typically expose the reporting entity to variability of returns from the performance of the other entity. For example, assume a structured entity is established to provide investment opportunities for investors who wish to have exposure to entity Z’s credit risk (entity Z is unrelated to any party involved in the arrangement). The structured entity obtains funding by issuing to those investors notes that are linked to entity Z’s credit risk (credit‑linked notes) and uses the proceeds to invest in a portfolio of risk‑free financial assets. The structured entity obtains exposure to entity Z’s credit risk by entering into a credit default swap (CDS) with a swap counterparty. The CDS passes entity Z’s credit risk to the structured entity in return for a fee paid by the swap counterparty. The investors in the structured entity receive a higher return that reflects both the structured entity’s return from its asset portfolio and the CDS fee. The swap counterparty does not have involvement with the structured entity that exposes it to variability of returns from the performance of the structured entity because the CDS transfers variability to the structured entity, rather than absorbing variability of returns of the structured entity.

If the entity accounts for its interest in the joint venture or associate using the equity method:

(a)

the amounts included in the IFRS financial statements of the joint venture or associate shall be adjusted to reflect adjustments made by the entity when using the equity method, such as fair value [Refer:IFRS 13] adjustments made at the time of acquisition and adjustments for differences in accounting policies.

(b)

the entity shall provide a reconciliation of the summarised financial information presented to the carrying amount of its interest in the joint venture or associate.

the entity measures its interest in the joint venture or associate at fair value [Refer:IFRS 13] in accordance with IAS 28 (as amended in 2011); and

(b)

the joint venture or associate does not prepare IFRS financial statements and preparation on that basis would be impracticable or cause undue cost.

In that case, the entity shall disclose the basis on which the summarised financial information has been prepared.

B17

When an entity’s interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate (or a portion of its interest in a joint venture or an associate) is classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 [Refer:IFRS 5 paragraphs 6⁠–⁠12A], the entity is not required to disclose summarised financial information for that subsidiary, joint venture or associate in accordance with paragraphs B10⁠–⁠B16.

Commitments for joint ventures (paragraph 23(a))

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC53⁠–⁠BC56]

B18

An entity shall disclose total commitments it has made but not recognised at the reporting date (including its share of commitments made jointly with other investors with joint control of a joint venture) relating to its interests in joint ventures. Commitments are those that may give rise to a future outflow of cash or other resources.

B19

Unrecognised commitments that may give rise to a future outflow of cash or other resources include:

(a)

unrecognised commitments to contribute funding or resources as a result of, for example:

(i)

the constitution or acquisition agreements of a joint venture (that, for example, require an entity to contribute funds over a specific period).

(ii)

capital‑intensive projects undertaken by a joint venture.

(iii)

unconditional purchase obligations, comprising procurement of equipment, inventory or services that an entity is committed to purchasing from, or on behalf of, a joint venture.

(iv)

unrecognised commitments to provide loans or other financial support to a joint venture.

(v)

unrecognised commitments to contribute resources to a joint venture, such as assets or services.

(vi)

other non‑cancellable unrecognised commitments relating to a joint venture.

(b)

unrecognised commitments to acquire another party’s ownership interest (or a portion of that ownership interest) in a joint venture if a particular event occurs or does not occur in the future.

B20

The requirements and examples in paragraphs B18 and B19 illustrate some of the types of disclosure required by paragraph 18 of IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures.

Interests in unconsolidated structured entities (paragraphs 24⁠–⁠31)

Structured entities

B21

A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC82⁠–⁠BC85]

B22

A structured entity often has some or all of the following features or attributes:

(a)

restricted activities.

(b)

a narrow and well‑defined objective, such as to effect a tax‑efficient lease, carry out research and development activities, provide a source of capital or funding to an entity or provide investment opportunities for investors by passing on risks and rewards associated with the assets of the structured entity to investors.

(c)

insufficient equity to permit the structured entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support.

(d)

financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches).

B23

Examples of entities that are regarded as structured entities include, but are not limited to:

(a)

securitisation vehicles.

Securitisation vehicles [member] Example Member825700

(b)

asset‑backed financings.

Asset-backed financings [member] Example Member825700

(c)

some investment funds.

Investment funds [member] Example Member825700

B24

An entity that is controlled by voting rights is not a structured entity simply because, for example, it receives funding from third parties following a restructuring.

Nature of risks from interests in unconsolidated structured entities (paragraphs 29⁠–⁠31)

B25

In addition to the information required by paragraphs 29⁠–⁠31, an entity shall disclose additional information that is necessary to meet the disclosure objective in paragraph 24(b).

Additional information about nature of and changes in risks associated with interests in structured entities [text block] Disclosure Text block825700

B26

Examples of additional information that, depending on the circumstances, might be relevant to an assessment of the risks to which an entity is exposed when it has an interest in an unconsolidated structured entity are [Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC111⁠–⁠BC114]:

(a)

the terms of an arrangement that could require the entity to provide financial support to an unconsolidated structured entity (eg liquidity arrangements or credit rating triggers associated with obligations to purchase assets of the structured entity or provide financial support), including:

(i)

a description of events or circumstances that could expose the reporting entity to a loss.

(ii)

whether there are any terms that would limit the obligation.

(iii)

whether there are any other parties that provide financial support and, if so, how the reporting entity’s obligation ranks with those of other parties.

Description of terms of contractual arrangements that could require parent or subsidiaries to provide financial support to structured entity Example Text IFRS 12.14 Disclosure 825700

(b)

losses incurred by the entity during the reporting period relating to its interests in unconsolidated structured entities.

Losses incurred in relation to interests in structured entities Example MonetaryDuration, Debit 825700

(c)

the types of income the entity received during the reporting period from its interests in unconsolidated structured entities.

Description of types of income from structured entities Example Text IFRS 12.27 b Disclosure 825700

(d)

whether the entity is required to absorb losses of an unconsolidated structured entity before other parties, the maximum limit of such losses for the entity, and (if relevant) the ranking and amounts of potential losses borne by parties whose interests rank lower than the entity’s interest in the unconsolidated structured entity.

(e)

Disclosure of information about liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments with third parties that may affect fair value or risk of interests in structured entities [text block] Example Text block825700

(f)

any difficulties an unconsolidated structured entity has experienced in financing its activities during the reporting period.

Description of difficulties structured entity experienced in financing its activities Example Text825700

(g)

in relation to the funding of an unconsolidated structured entity, the forms of funding (eg commercial paper or medium‑term notes) and their weighted‑average life. That information might include maturity analyses of the assets and funding of an unconsolidated structured entity if the structured entity has longer‑term assets funded by shorter‑term funding.
