AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 52-58: Classify residual items as operating, and classify returns on associates, joint ventures, unconsolidated subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents and stand-alone return-generating assets as investing, subject to the main business activity overrides

What does 52-58 require?

The operating category is the residual: everything in profit or loss not classified as investing, financing, income taxes or discontinued operations. Returns on associates, joint ventures and unconsolidated subsidiaries, on cash and cash equivalents, and on other assets whose returns arise on their own, largely independent of the entity's other resources are investing, including income generated, measurement and derecognition effects, and incremental acquisition and disposal costs. An entity that invests in such assets as a main business activity classifies equity-accounted investments in investing but other investments in operating; an entity that invests in financial assets as a main business activity classifies cash and cash equivalent returns in operating; a customer-financing entity classifies cash returns related to that financing in operating and makes a consistent accounting policy choice (operating or investing) for the rest, applying operating to all if it cannot distinguish them.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 13-15 Classify as operating the cash effects of the principal revenue-producing activities and of transactions that enter profit or loss, including dealing and trading portfolios and the loans of financial institutions
  • 16 Classify as investing only those expenditures that create a recognised asset, together with the related receipts, derivative flows not held for dealing, and advances to other parties
  • 37-38 For investees accounted for by the equity method or at cost, report only the cash flows between the investor and the investee

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
