The equity method picks up the investor’s share of the change in the associate’s shareholder’s equity. Come is recognized based on the income reported by the associate, and dividends are reported as a reduction of the investment account. The investor’s statement of comprehensive income should reflect its share of the investee’s income according to its nature and the different statement classifications.
The investor’s shares of income from continuing operations, discontinued operations, and other comprehensive income are reported separately.
Consolidated statements should reflect only the results of transactions with outsiders. Profits from intercompany transactions must be eliminated until the assets are sold to outsiders or used in producing goods or providing services to outsiders.
Average costs should be used in determining any gain or loss when an investor sells part of its investments.
The fair value of an investment in associate should be disclosed when it is readily available.
Equity method requires the investor to record its share of any changes in the shareholder’s equity of the investee, adjusted for the amortization of the acquisition differential and the holdback and realization of profits from the intercompany sale of assets.
