IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (paras. 238-240)

238 When a parent, in accordance with paragraph 4(a) of IFRS 10, elects not to prepare consolidated financial statements and instead prepares separate financial statements, it shall disclose in those separate financial statements:

(a) the fact that the financial statements are separate financial statements; that the exemption from consolidation has been used; the name and principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if different) of the entity whose consolidated financial statements that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards have been produced for public use; and the address where those consolidated financial statements are obtainable; and

(b) a description of the method used to account for its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

239 When an investment entity that is a parent (other than a parent covered by paragraph 238) prepares, in accordance with paragraph 8A of IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements, separate financial statements as its only financial statements, it shall disclose that fact. The investment entity shall also present the disclosures relating to investment entities required by paragraphs 82-94.
