Extract from FRS102: Section 14.4-14.4.
14.4 An investor that is not a parent but that has an investment in one or more associates shall, in its individual financial statements, account for all of its investments in associates using either:
(a) the cost model in accordance with paragraphs 14.5 to 14.6;
(b) the fair value model in accordance with paragraphs 14.9 to 14.10A; or
(c) at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss (paragraphs 11.27 to 11.32 provide guidance on fair value).
14.4A An investor that is a parent shall, in its consolidated financial statements, account for all of its investments in associates using the equity method in accordance with paragraph 14.8, except as required by paragraph 14.4B.
14.4B Where an investor is a parent and has an associate that is held as part of an investment portfolio, the associate shall be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
OmniPro comment
The options for a holder of an investment in an associate who is not a parent can choose to as detailed in Section 9.26:
- carry the investment at cost less impairment; or
- fair value through the profit and loss; or
- fair value through other comprehensive income.
An entity should apply the accounting policy chosen consistently for all investments which meet the definition of an associate.
For a parent company preparing consolidated financial statements the associate must be accounted for:
- under the equity method.
UNLESS
The investment is held as part of an investment portfolio in which case the interest should be measured:
- at fair value through the profit and loss.
An investment held as part of an investment portfolio as defined in Appendix I of FRS 102 is ‘if its value to the investor is through fair value as part of a directly or indirectly held basket of investments rather than as a media through which the investor carries out business’.
