Table 4: Consolidation workings
(Source: Created by author)
According to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 10, definition of subsidiary includes a company controlled by another company. Such control can be gained if the holding of shares or voting rights is more than 50%. The parent company will have the power to control and govern the financial and operational part of the subsidiary for better business decision. On the contrary, associate is defined in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 28 as the significant influence of the investor over an associate company (Exner et al. 2015). It means that the investor has the right to participate in the business and financial decision but cannot control the policies and regulations. Such significant influence is gained by purchasing shares or voting rights for more than 20% but less than 50%.
In the given case, Bosco acquired 80% of the issued securities of Circus Ltd on 1 July 2014. Considering the principles of IFRS and IAS the relationship between Bosco and Circus Ltd is that of parent- subsidiary because the acquired voting right by Bosco is more than 50%. It is not necessary to acquire 100% securities for having parents- subsidiary relationship as acquisition of 100% securities would mean wholly owned subsidiary of the acquirers.
