Significant Influence

The ability to be involved in the financial and managerial policy decisions of an investment without having controlling authority over those policies.

Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

An accounting approach where financial assets are valued at their current market price, with changes in fair value reported in the profit or loss statement.

Journal Entries

  • Distinguish between the treatment of investments through the equity method and the accounting under Fair Value Through Profit or Loss and Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income.
  • Recognize when and how to record entries for investments revalued to fair value.
