    OK so as far as I understand it a dividend received from an associate reduces the investment in associate on the SOFP.

    But does a dividend paid to the associate increase the investment in associate?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Why would you pay a dividend to an associate? You’ve made the investment in the associate and would therefore expect to receive the dividends, not pay them.

    Thanks
