The NCI is like a liability that is owed to the NCI shareholders hence why on the credit side as the opening balance. Technically it is an equity balance. The brought forward figure is on the debit side if it is an asset, so for your investment in associate the opening balance will be on the debit (left) side. T-accounts are a challenge but they do help you in all the questions. Thanks

Yes it should be on the debit side, it was a slight mistake on recording and I've not had chance to do it again. Hope it hasn't confused you too much. Thanks
