    Dear Mike,
    Hope you are really fine dear tutor 🙂 .

    My question is about investment accounting treatment in the INVESTOR’s account.

    Let’s say there are 3 types of investments:
    1-Simple investment (less than 20%)
    2-Associate(20% to 50%)
    3-Subsidiary(more than 50%)

    Now is it correct to say that:

    For SIMPLE investment (less than 20%):
    1- only recongnise dividend income ( Dr Devidend receivable & Cr Dividend income)
    2- At each year end we should determine fair value of the investment, applying whether FVTPL or FVTOCI according to IFRS 9 equity instrument.
    So in fact we can NOT state the simple investment at the historical cost and we HAVE TO remeasure it annually.

    For associate and subsidiary:
    1- only recongnise dividend income ( Dr Devidend receivable & Cr Dividend income)
    2- the investment remains at HISTORICAL cost as IFRS 9 does not apply for associate and subsidiary.

    Thank you in advance,
    Kind Regards

    IAS 28 takes precedence over IFRS 9 so use the equity method
