PAS 24 Related Party


Disclosures
Objective and Scope of PAS 24

• PAS 24 prescribes the necessary disclosures regarding

related party relationships and transactions, outstanding


balances and commitments between an entity and its
related parties.
Core principle
• The financial position and profit or loss of an entity may be

affected by a related party relationship even if related party


transactions do not occur. The mere existence of the
relationship may be sufficient to affect the transactions of the
entity with other parties.

• Necessary disclosures, therefore, should be provided to draw

users’ attention to the possible effects of such relationships


and transactions on the financial statements presented.
Related parties

• A related party is “a person or entity that is related to the

reporting entity that is preparing its financial statements.” (PAS 24)

• Examples of related parties:

1. Investor and investee relationship where control, joint


control or significant influence exists.
2. Key management personnel
3. Close family member
4. Post-employment benefit plan
Definition of terms
• Control – an investor controls an investee when the investor is
exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power over the investee.
• Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial
and operating policy decisions of an entity, but is not control over
those policies. Significant influence may be gained by share
ownership, statute or agreement.
• Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an
economic activity.
Definition of terms - continuation
• Key management personnel are those persons having authority and
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the
entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or
otherwise) of that entity.

• Close members of the family of an individual


a. the individual’s domestic partner and children;
b. children of the individual’s domestic partner; and
c. dependents of the individual or the individual’s domestic partner.

• A related party transaction is a transfer of resources, services or


obligations between a reporting entity and a related party, regardless of
whether a price is charged.
Unrelated parties
• The following are not related parties:

1. Two entities simply because they have a director in common.

2. Two venturers simply because they share joint control over a joint
venture.
3. Providers of finance, trade unions, public utilities, and departments
and agencies of a government that does not control, jointly control
or significantly influence the reporting entity, simply by virtue of
their normal dealings with an entity.
4. A customer, supplier, franchisor, distributor or general agent with
whom an entity transacts a significant volume of business, simply
by virtue of the resulting economic dependence.
Disclosure

1. Parent-subsidiary relationship regardless of whether there have been


transactions between them.
2. Key management personnel compensation broken down into the
following categories SPOTS and loans to key management personnel.
3. Related party transactions – nature of transaction and outstanding
balances

• Disclosures that related party transactions were made on terms equivalent


to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions are made only if such
terms can be substantiated.

unfavorable, that occur between the end of the reporting period

issue.” (PAS 10)
