BASIS FOR CONCLUSIONS ON IFRS 12
(available on the AASB website)
Australian Accounting Standard AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (as amended) is set out in paragraphs 1 – 31, Appendices A – C, and E. All the paragraphs have equal authority. Paragraphs in bold type state the main principles. Terms defined in Appendix A are in italics the first time they appear in the Standard. AASB 12 is to be read in the context of other Australian Accounting Standards, including AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards, which identifies the Australian Accounting Interpretations. In the absence of explicit guidance, AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies.
