Context
Norvane Group SA (fictitious entity) closes its consolidated accounts on 31 December 20X6. The preparer builds the file of the disclosures on interests in other entities, submitted to a review check: Tolmer and Hanel (judgments), Belmont (non-controlling interests), Arvel and Nolet (associates) and unconsolidated structured entities. Teaching simulation: the review trail of the file (preparation, reviewer notes and final sign-off) is simulated for demonstration purposes; it is neither a real review nor a validation of the content.
Assignment
Judgments on Tolmer and Hanel
Purpose of the workpaper
List the interests held in other entities and management's conclusion on control, joint control or significant influence, then decide which judgments to explain and the level of detail. Percentages of voting rights and attendance at meetings are case data: none is presented as a threshold of the standard, and materiality remains a judgment.
Questions of the file covered by this workpaper
- In which category of interests does each investee fall, and which disclosures does IFRS 12 aim at?
- Tolmer: what share of the votes cast does Norvane hold?
- Tolmer: which judgment on control must be explained?
- Hanel: which judgment on significant influence with less than 20 % of the voting rights must be explained?
