Consolidation — Comprehensive project

Background

The objective of this project is to develop a single consolidation model applicable to all entities that would be based on the concept of control and improve disclosures of consolidated and unconsolidated entities (replacing both IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12).

 

Current status of the project

The IASB issued IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements on 12 May 2011.

As a result of feedback received during the project, the IASB agreed to undertake a supplementary project which seeks to exempt eligible investment entities (such as mutual funds, unit trusts, and similar entities) from the requirement to consolidate subsidiaries, instead requiring the use of the fair value to measure those investments.
