International Accounting Standard 24 Related Party Disclosures (IAS 24) is set out in paragraphs 1⁠–⁠29 and the Appendix. All of the paragraphs have equal authority but retain the IASC format of the Standard when it was adopted by the IASB. IAS 24 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. [Refer:IAS 8 paragraphs 10⁠–⁠12]

International Accounting Standard 24Related Party Disclosures

Objective

1

The objective of this Standard is to ensure that an entity’s financial statements contain the disclosures necessary to draw attention to the possibility that its financial position and profit or loss may have been affected by the existence of related parties and by transactions and outstanding balances, including commitments, with such parties.

Scope

2

This Standard shall be applied in:

(a)

identifying related party relationships and transactions;

[Refer:paragraphs 9⁠–⁠12]

(b)

identifying outstanding balances, including commitments, between an entity and its related parties;

(c)

identifying the circumstances in which disclosure of the items in (a) and (b) is required; and

(d)

determining the disclosures to be made about those items.

[Refer: 

paragraphs 13⁠–⁠24

Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC7⁠–⁠BC32]

3

This Standard requires disclosure of related party relationships, transactions and outstanding balances, including commitments, in the consolidated and separate financial statements of a parent or investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee presented in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements or IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements. This Standard also applies to individual financial statements. [Refer:paragraph BC49(b)]

4

Related party transactions and outstanding balances with other entities in a group are disclosed in an entity’s financial statements. Intragroup related party transactions and outstanding balances are eliminated, except for those between an investment entity and its subsidiaries measured at fair value through profit or loss, in the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the group.

Purpose of related party disclosures

5

Related party relationships are a normal feature of commerce and business. For example, entities frequently carry on parts of their activities through subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. In those circumstances, the entity has the ability to affect the financial and operating policies of the investee through the presence of control, joint control or significant influence.

6

A related party relationship could have an effect on the profit or loss and financial position of an entity. Related parties may enter into transactions that unrelated parties would not. For example, an entity that sells goods to its parent at cost might not sell on those terms to another customer. Also, transactions between related parties may not be made at the same amounts as between unrelated parties.

7

The profit or loss and financial position of an entity may be affected by a related party relationship even if related party transactions do not occur. The mere existence of the relationship may be sufficient to affect the transactions of the entity with other parties. For example, a subsidiary may terminate relations with a trading partner on acquisition by the parent of a fellow subsidiary engaged in the same activity as the former trading partner. Alternatively, one party may refrain from acting because of the significant influence of another—for example, a subsidiary may be instructed by its parent not to engage in research and development.

8

For these reasons, knowledge of an entity’s transactions, outstanding balances, including commitments, and relationships with related parties may affect assessments of its operations by users of financial statements, including assessments of the risks and opportunities facing the entity.

[IFRIC® Update, May 2015, Agenda Decision, ‘IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures—Definition of close members of the family of a person’

The Interpretations Committee received a submission regarding the definition of close members of the family of a person in paragraph 9 of IAS 24.

The submitter points out that the definition of close members of the family of a person in paragraph 9 does not specify that the parents of a person could be included in this definition. The submitter thinks that this definition should include a person’s parents, because in its view they are among the closest members of the family of a person who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity. The submitter further observes that local regulations in some jurisdictions include the parents of a person within the definition of ‘close members of the family of a person’.

The submitter suggests that the Interpretations Committee could:

(a)

specify that this definition includes ‘persons who are considered to be close members of the family according to the law or the prevailing customary norms in the jurisdiction where the entity operates’; and

(b)

remove the examples of ‘close members of the family of a person’ from the definition.

The Interpretations Committee observed that the definition of close members of the family of a person in paragraph 9 of IAS 24:

(a)

is expressed in a principle-based manner and involves the use of judgement to determine whether members of the family of a person (including that person’s parents) are related parties or not; and

(b)

includes a list of family members that are always considered close members of the family of a person.

The Interpretations Committee further noted that the list of family members in paragraph 9(a)⁠–⁠(c) is non exhaustive and does not preclude other family members from being considered as close members of the family of a person. Consequently, the Interpretations Committee thought that other family members, including parents or grandparents, could qualify as close members of the family depending on the assessment of specific facts and circumstances.

In the light of the existing IFRS requirements, 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.]

10

In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship and not merely the legal form.

11

In the context of this Standard, the following are not related parties:

(a)

two entities simply because they have a director or other member of key management personnel in common or because a member of key management personnel of one entity has significant influence over the other entity.

(b)

two joint venturers simply because they share joint control of a joint venture.

(c)

(i)

providers of finance,

(ii)

trade unions,

(iii)

public utilities, and

(iv)

departments and agencies of a government that does not control, jointly control or significantly influence the reporting entity,

simply by virtue of their normal dealings with an entity (even though they may affect the freedom of action of an entity or participate in its decision‑making process).

(d)

a customer, supplier, franchisor, distributor or general agent with whom an entity transacts a significant volume of business, simply by virtue of the resulting economic dependence.

12

In the definition of a related party, an associate includes subsidiaries of the associate and a joint venture includes subsidiaries of the joint venture. Therefore, for example, an associate’s subsidiary and the investor that has significant influence over the associate are related to each other.

[IFRIC® Update, September 2004, Agenda Decision, ‘IAS 24: Interpretation of the term "information" in IAS 24 paragraph 17’

The IFRIC was asked to supplement the minimum disclosures in paragraph 17 regarding ‘transactions and outstanding balances necessary for an understanding of the potential effect of (related party) relationships on the financial statements'. For example, it was suggested that an interpretation of paragraph 17 should specifically require disclosure of the purpose and economic substance of transactions, identity of related parties, extent of management involvement, special risks and the effect of such transactions on the financial statements.

The IFRIC agreed not to add this issue to its agenda, noting that the IASB, in its revisions to IAS 24 in 2003, debated the extent of specific minimum disclosure requirements and the suggested items were not included. The IFRIC decided that, because of wider policy considerations, this issue might be appropriate for discussion by the Board and, perhaps, the Standards Advisory Council.

[Note: In November 2009 the IASB issued a revised IAS 24. In the revised IAS 24 (2009) paragraph 18 is applicable to this footnote.]]

18A

Amounts incurred by the entity for the provision of key management personnel services that are provided by a separate management entity shall be disclosed. [Refer:paragraph 17A]

A reporting entity is exempt from the disclosure requirements of paragraph 18 in relation to related party transactions and outstanding balances, including commitments, with:

(a)

a government that has control or joint control of, or significant influence over, the reporting entity; and

(b)

another entity that is a related party because the same government has control or joint control of, or significant influence over, both the reporting entity and the other entity.
