Significant Influence
7
Power to participate in the financial or operating policy decision making of the investee ; But No control over those policies
Definition above excludes subsidiaries and joint ventures Apart from the above, any other enterprise which is significantly influenced by the investor is an associate for the purpose of AS 23
Defining Associate: An enterprise having 20% or more control over voting power or any interest directly or indirectly in any other enterprise will be assumed to significantly influencing the other enterprise unless proved otherwise
![Page 8: AS 23 Accounting for Investments in Associates CA Final ... · PDF fileAccounting for Investments in Associates 1 . Agenda 2 Introduction . Definitions . Significant Influence](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103107/5a75902e7f8b9aa3618c8c89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Significant Influence (Cont…)
8
Similarly, Any enterprise that does not have 20% or more control, then it is assumed not having significant influence on the enterprise, unless proved otherwise
Having voting power Representation on the board of directors or governing body of the investee Participation in policy-making processes Interchange of managerial personnel Provision of essential technical information Influencing inter company transactions i.e. sale of goods and services, sharing technical knowledge etc.
Enterprise can influence significant economic decisions by ways like:

Points to note:
9
As with the classification of any investment, the substance of the arrangement in each case should be considered.
For example: If it can be clearly demonstrated that an investor holding 20% or more of the voting power of the investee but does not have significant influence, the investment will not be accounted for as an associate.
A substantial or majority ownership by another investor does not necessarily preclude an investor from having significant influence
For an investor holding less than 20% of the voting power, but presence of one or more of the indicators as above may indicate that an investor has significant influence over a less than 20% owned corporate investee

Existence of Control
11
Control exists when Parent company has either:
A. The ownership, directly or indirectly through subsidiary(ies), of more than one-half of the voting power of an enterprise
B. Or control of the composition of the board of directors in the case of a company or of the composition of the corresponding governing body in case of any other enterprise so as to obtain economic benefits from subsidiary company’s activities

Existence of Control (Cont…)
12
A. Control by holding more than one half of the voting power
Example 1: A Ltd. is holding 70% shares in B Ltd., and B Ltd., has 28% holding in C Ltd. So, A Ltd., with the majority holding i.e., more than 50% is the parent company and C Ltd., with more than 20% share though minor is a business associate Diagram:
A Ltd.
B Ltd.
70%
C Ltd. 28%

Existence of Control (Cont…)
13
B. Control by controlling the composition of board of directors or corresponding governing body
Point to be noted here is that the control over the composition of board or governing body should be for economic benefit. If a company controls composition of governing body of gratuity trust, provident fund etc., since the objective is not economic benefit therefore it will not be included in the consolidated financial statement
An enterprise is considered to control the composition of the board of directors or governing body of a company, if it has power, without consent or concurrence of any other person, to appoint or remove all or a majority of directors of that company or members of the body.

Existence of Control (Cont…)
14
An enterprise is deemed to have the power to appoint a director/member, if any of the following conditions are satisfied:
A person cannot be appointed as director/member without the exercise in his favor by that enterprise of such a power as aforesaid; or
A person’s appointment as director/member follows necessarily from his appointment to a position held by him in that enterprise; or
The director/member is nominated by that enterprise or a subsidiary thereof.

Example 2: A Ltd., holding 90% shares in B Ltd., and 10% in C Ltd., and also B Ltd., holding 11% shares in C Ltd.. Solution: In this case, A Ltd., is parent of B Ltd., but due to total direct and indirect holding of (10+11) 21% in C Ltd., C Ltd., is an associate of A Ltd.. Though for consolidated financial statement purpose, these holdings will be 19.9% (10% + 90% of 11%), as rest 1.1% belongs to minority interest

Associate Accounting - Equity method
17
Accounting for Associates can be broadly explained by following points:
In consolidated financial statements, investment is recorded at cost
Any surplus or deficit in cost and net assets to be recorded as either Goodwill or Capital Reserve
Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment
Any subsequent change in share in net assets is adjusted in cost of investment and Goodwill/Capital reserve
Consolidated profit & Loss shows the investor’s share in the results of operations of the investee

Circumstances under which equity method is followed
23
Equity method is followed by all enterprises having significant influence except in the following cases:
Control is intended to be temporary because the investment is acquired and held exclusively with a view to subsequent disposal
Enterprise operates under severe long-term restrictions, which significantly impair its ability to transfer funds to the investor
In both cases above, investment of investor in the share of investee is treated as investment according to AS 13

Discontinue the use of Equity method
25
Investor should discontinue the use of Equity method from the date that:
Ceases to have significant influence but retains, either in whole or in part, its investment
Use of Equity method is no longer appropriate because the associate operates under severe long term restrictions that significantly impair its ability to transfer funds to the investor
From the date of discontinuing the use of Equity method, investments in such associates should be accounted as per AS 13 – Investment in Associates
For this purpose, carrying amount of investment at that date should be regarded as cost

Application of Equity method
26
Many rules followed under equity method for an associate is similar to consolidated financial statement as in case of subsidiary i.e. AS 21
Investment in an Associate should be recorded as equity from the date when such relation comes in effect
Investment in the associate is recorded at cost and any difference in the cost and investor’s share in equity on the date of acquisition is shown as Goodwill or Capital Reserve

Important general rules to Consolidation
43
Reporting date for the purpose of consolidation
For the purpose of consolidation, the financial statements of all associates should, wherever practicable, be prepared:
To the same reporting date ; and For the same reporting period as of the parent
If practically it is not possible to draw up the financial statements of one or more associates to a common date as parent, then adjustments should be made for significant transactions or other events that occur between those dates and the date of the parent’s financial statements.
In any case, the difference between reporting dates should not be more than six months

44
Differing Accounting Policies
Accounting policies should be uniform for like transactions and other events, in similar transactions
If accounting policies are not uniform, then adjustments should be made in the items of the associates to bring them in line with the accounting policy of the parent
Example: Parent company A Ltd., is valuing stock on weighted average basis and its stock is valued at Rs. 100 lacs but its investee (associate) B Ltd., is following FIFO method and its stock is valued at Rs. 20 lacs. Stock of B Ltd., will be valued under weighted average method, say, Rs. 25 lacs. Solution: For the purpose of consolidation, stock of B Ltd., will be taken as Rs. 25 lacs and the stock disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet assets side will be Rs. 125 lacs.
