Q2 H1a Subsidiaries: terminology and group structure(子会社: 用語とグループ構造)

Under IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when three elements are all present. Which of the following is NOT one of those three elements?

  1. Power over the investee
  2. Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
  3. The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns
  4. Legal ownership of all of the investee's non-current assets
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D. Control needs power, exposure to variable returns and the link between them. Owning the investee's assets is not part of the test; the investee owns its own assets.
