IAS 27 is relevant where an entity has investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and is required to present separate financial statements.

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the separate financial statements of the investor either:

• at cost, or
• using the equity method, or
• in accordance with IFRS 9.

The same accounting should be applied to each category of investment.

Dividends from subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates are recognised in profit or loss in the investor’s separate financial statements when a right to receive the dividend is established.

The standard also provides disclosure requirements.

All amendments issued up to and including 31 December 2023 are included within the IFRS Foundation’s latest version of the issued standard: 2024 Issued Standard – IAS 27. Issued amendments may have a mandatory effective date that is later than 1 January 2024 – see individual amendments for details.

Any amendments issued on or after 1 January 2024 will not be included in the IFRS Foundation’s 2024 Issued Standards but will be listed below and identified as such.
