In business, a related party transaction is a
transaction that takes place between two parties who hold a
pre-existing connection prior to the transaction.
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the
entity that is preparing its financial statements
An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the
following conditions applies:
- (i) The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same
group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow
subsidiary is related to the others).
- (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other
entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of
which the other entity is a member)
- (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third
party.
- (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the
other entity is an associate of the third entity.
- (v) The entity is a post-employment defined benefit plan for
the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an
entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is
itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to
the reporting entity.
- (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person
identified in (a).
- (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence
over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of
the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
- (viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a
part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting
entity or to the parent of the reporting entity*.
- from the above data we can conclude that the consolidated
financial statements should disclose the related party transactions
in respect of intra group transactions
