o SIC – 12 Consolidation – Special purpose entities has caused
contradiction with IAS 27 in respect to control
IAS – 27 : Govern the operating and financial policy decision of an
entity.
SIC – 12 : Control the entity + the intention to gain profit form its
operations.
NOW : IFRS 10: “ An investor controls an investee when it is exposed
or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
and the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee.”
9. Control can be :
• You have 51% voting Rights.
• You have 100% control.
10. To establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated
financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities.
In Order to meet the Objective;
requires an entity (the parent) that controls one or more other entities
(subsidiaries) to present consolidated financial statements;
defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for
consolidation;
sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an
investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the
investee; and
sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated
financial statements.
11. An entity that is a parent shall present consolidated financial statements. This IFRS
applies to all entities, except as follows:
a parent need not present consolidated financial statements if it meets all the
following conditions:
• it is a wholly or partially-owned subsidiary of another entity and all its other
owners, including those not otherwise entitled to vote, and they do not object to,
the parent not presenting consolidated financial statements;
• its debt or equity instruments are not traded in a public market;
• it did not file, nor is it in the process of filing, its financial statements with a
securities commission or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing
any class of instruments in a public market; and
• its ultimate or any intermediate parent produces consolidated financial
statements that are available for public use and comply with IFRSs.
12. An investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the
following elements:
o Power over the investee
o Rights to variable returns
o Ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the
investor’s return.
Power over an investee arise from rights, Which can be straightforward(i.e.
Voting rights, rights to appoint BOD) or complex (e.g. per contractual
arrangement).
13. An investor must be exposed (or, has rights,) to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee in order to control it.
o These returns must have the ability to vary as a results of the investee’s
performance and can be positive, negative or both.
o The investor’s power must be used to affect or influence the returns.
There must be a clear ability of the parent to use its power to affect the
returns of the investee to which it is exposed or has rights.
14. An investor has the power over the investee when the investor has existing
rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities.(i.e.
activities that significantly affects the investee’s return.)
o Must be substantive (Practical ability to exercise power).
o Protective rights do not provide power
o Potential voting rights needs to be currently exercisable and must take
into account the economic reality (i.e. it is practical to exercise)
15. Why Protective rights do not provide power?
o E.g. when an entity entering into a contract, certain terms and conditions
exists that protects the party under certain conditions.
o These rights only apply under those conditions and are therefore not
substantive in all circumstances, therefore not seen as a power.
De factor Control :
o Power that exist with less than 50% of voting rights
o Example :
Parententity own 20% of voting rights and the reminder of the voting
rights (80%) spread over 2000 shareholders countrywide.
16. Potential voting rights?
o Substantive potential voting rights (PVR) can give the holder power.
o Consider the terms and conditions, including;
Whether there are any barriers that prevent the holder from exercising.
Whether exercise of the rights would be beneficial to the holder.
Whether the rights are exercisable when decisions need to be made.
17. Delegated rights :
o An agent is party engaged to act on behalf of another party (The principal)
o Principal may designated power to the agent.
o Agent cannot control the investee (IFRS 10)
o However, if agent gains benefits form the arrangement, the agent could be
registered as a “Principal” and could then control the investee.
o Consider the rights, discretion, range of decisions, level of involvement,
financial benefits.
o Relevant to : investment fund and asset manager etc.
