IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements
In April 2001 the International Accounting Standards Board (Board) adopted IAS 27
Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investments in Subsidiaries
, which had
originally been issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee in April 1989.
IAS 27 replaced most of IAS 3
Consolidated Financial Statements
(issued in June 1976).
In December 2003, the Board amended and renamed IAS 27 with a new title—
Consolidated
and Separate Financial Statements
.
The amended IAS 27 also incorporated the guidance
contained in two related Interpretations (SIC-12
Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities
and
SIC-33
Consolidation and Equity Method—Potential Voting Rights and Allocation of Ownership Interests
).
In May 2011 the Board issued IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements
to supersede IAS 27.
IFRS 12
Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
, also issued in May 2011, replaced the disclosure
requirements in IAS 27.
IFRS 10 incorporates the guidance contained in two related
Interpretations (SIC-12
Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities
and SIC-33
Consolidation
).
In June 2012 IFRS 10 was amended by
Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and
Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance
(Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and
IFRS 12). These amendments clarified the transition guidance in IFRS 10. Furthermore,
these amendments provided additional transition relief in IFRS 10, limiting the
requirement to present adjusted comparative information to only the annual period
immediately preceding the first annual period for which IFRS 10 is applied.
In October 2012 IFRS 10 was amended by
Investment Entities
(Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12
and IAS 27), which defined an investment entity and introduced an exception to
consolidating particular subsidiaries for investment entities.
It also introduced the
requirement that an investment entity measures those subsidiaries at fair value through
profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9
Financial Instruments
in its consolidated and
separate financial statements.
In addition, the amendments introduced new disclosure
requirements for investment entities in IFRS 12 and IAS 27.
In September 2014 IFRS 10 was amended by
Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and
its Associate or Joint Venture
(Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28), which addressed the
conflicting accounting requirements for the sale or contribution of assets to a joint venture
or associate.
In December 2015 the mandatory effective date of this amendment was
indefinitely deferred by
Effective Date of Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28
.
In December 2014 IFRS 10 was amended by
Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation
Exception
(Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28). These amendments clarified which
subsidiaries of an investment entity should be consolidated instead of being measured at
fair value through profit or loss. The amendments also clarified that the exemption from
presenting consolidated financial statements continues to apply to subsidiaries of an
investment entity that are themselves parent entities. This is so even if that subsidiary is
measured at fair value through profit or loss by the higher level investment entity parent.
Other Standards have made minor consequential amendments to IFRS 10, including
Annual
Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014–2016 Cycle
(issued December 2016).
