IFRS 12 Judgements and assumptions

Significant judgements and assumptions

7 An entity shall disclose information about significant judgements and assumptions it has made (and changes to those judgements and assumptions) in determining: that it has control of another entity, ie an investee as described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements;

that it has joint control of an arrangement or significant influence over another entity; and
the type of joint arrangement (ie joint operation or joint venture) when the arrangement has been structured through a separate vehicle.

8 The significant judgements and assumptions disclosed in accordance with paragraph 7 include those made by the entity when changes in facts and circumstances are such that the conclusion about whether it has control, joint control or significant influence changes during the reporting period.

9 To comply with paragraph 7, an entity shall disclose, for example, significant judgements and assumptions made in determining that:

it does not control another entity even though it holds more than half of the voting rights of the other entity.
it controls another entity even though it holds less than half of the voting rights of the other entity.
it is an agent or a principal (see paragraphs B58–B72 of IFRS 10).
it does not have significant influence even though it holds 20 per cent or more of the voting rights of another entity.
it has significant influence even though it holds less than 20 per cent of the voting rights of another entity.

Investment entity status

9A When a parent determines that it is an investment entity in accordance with paragraph 27 of IFRS 10, the investment entity shall disclose information about significant judgements and assumptions it has made in determining that it is an investment entity. If the investment entity does not have one or more of the typical characteristics of an investment entity (see paragraph 28 of IFRS 10), it shall disclose its reasons for concluding that it is nevertheless an investment entity.

9B When an entity becomes, or ceases to be, an investment entity, it shall disclose the change of investment entity status and the reasons for the change. In addition, an entity that becomes an investment entity shall disclose the effect of the change of status on the financial statements for the period presented, including:

the total fair value, as of the date of change of status, of the subsidiaries that cease to be consolidated;
the total gain or loss, if any, calculated in accordance with paragraph B101 of IFRS 10; and
the line item(s) in profit or loss in which the gain or loss is recognised (if not presented separately).
