About this lesson

Working through a practical example with a parent company, subsidiary, and associate, you'll calculate three key figures: the investment in the associate for the statement of financial position, the group's share of the associate's profit for the statement of profit and loss, and the group's retained earnings. This is essential for Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) and builds your understanding of how associates are treated differently from subsidiaries in consolidated financial statements.
