Annual Report 2014

140

2) New financial reporting standards and revised accounting standards, revised financial reporting standards

are effective on 1 January 2015. These standards are relevant to the group and are not early adopted:

TAS 19 (revised 2014)

Employee benefits

TAS 28 (revised 2014)

Investments in associates and joint ventures

TFRS 10

Consolidated financial statements

TFRS 13

Fair value measurement

TFRIC 14 (revised 2014)

TAS 19 - The limit on a defined benefit asset,

minimum funding requirements

and their interaction

TAS 19 (revised 2014), the key changes are (a)

actuarial gains and losses are renamed ‘remeasurements’

and will be recognised immediately in ‘other comprehensive

income’ (OCI). Actuarial gains and losses will no longer

be deferred using the corridor approach or recognised

in profit or loss; and (b) past-service costs will be

recognised in the period of a plan amendment;

unvested benefits will no longer be spread over a

future-service period. The Group has not assessed

the full impact of the revision yet.

TAS 28 (revised 2014) provide the requirements

for investment in associates and joint ventures

accounted by equity method. The Group has not

assessed the full impact of the revision yet.

TFRS 10 has a single definition of control and

supersedes the principles of control and consolidation

included within the original TAS 27, ‘Consolidated and

separate financial statements’. The standard sets out

the requirements for when an entity should prepare

consolidated financial statements, defines the principles

of control, explains how to apply the principles of

control and explains the accounting requirements for

preparing consolidated financial statements. The key

principle in the new standard is that control exists,

and consolidation is required, only if the investor

possesses power over the investee, has exposure to

variable returns from its involvement with the investee

and has the ability to use its power over the investee

to affect its returns. The Group has not assessed the

full impact of the revision yet.

TFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce

complexity by providing a precise definition of fair

value and a single source of fair value measurement

and disclosure requirements for use across TFRSs. The

Group has not assessed the full impact of the revision

yet.

TFRIC 14 (Revised 2014), this interpretation

applies to all post-employment defined benefits and

other long-term employee benefits. For the purpose of

this interpretation, minimum funding requirements are

any requirements to fund a post-employment or other

long-term benefit plan. This interpretation explains

how the pension asset or liability may be affected

by a statutory or contractual minimum funding

requirement. The Group has not assessed the full

impact of the revision yet.

2.3 Investment in subsidiaries,

jointly-controlled entity

and associates

2.3.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all the entities over which the SET

has the power to govern the financial and operating

policies. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date

on which control is transferred to the SET and are

no longer consolidated from the date on which that

control ceases.

All related party transactions, balances and

unrealised gains and losses on transactions between

the SET and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

In the SET’s financial statements, investments in

subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method.
