Deloitte Letter of Comment on IFRIC D7

Important: IFRIC D7 resulted in amendment to SIC 12 in November 2004.

SUMMARY OF IFRIC D7
Summary D7 proposes an amendment to the scope of Interpretation SIC 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. D7 would remove the scope exclusion in SIC 12 for equity compensation plans. Hence, an entity that controls an employee benefit trust (or similar entity) set up for the purposes of a share-based payment arrangement would be required to consolidate that trust.

Post-employment benefit plans would continue to be excluded from SIC 12; however, D7 proposes to amend that scope exclusion to include other long-term employee benefit plans, to ensure consistency with the requirements of IAS 19 Employee Benefits. At present, SIC-12 does not exclude other long-term employee benefit plans from its scope. However, IAS 19 requires those plans to be accounted for in a manner similar to that for post-employment benefit plans.
