To be significant component is 15%Here zennor comp profits and assets less than 15% why its considered sig component?

August 21, 2018 at 6:58 am #468688Significant component: a component identified by the group engagement team and that:
1. is of individual financial significance to the group; or
2. is likely to include significant risks of material misstatement of
the group financial statements (due to its specific nature or
circumstances).The 15% guideline relates to 1.
The published answer answers your question:
“Zennor is likely to be considered a significant component due to its risk profile and
the change in group structure which has occurred in the year.”August 30, 2018 at 4:52 pm #470188Is the threshold of identifying significant component in Group different from significant company in a listed company? Because as I know for listed company, if its segment more than 10% of revenue or assets or Profit, it is significant component and should be disclosed separately?
August 30, 2018 at 5:35 pm #470200They are different things:
The term “significant component” comes from ISA 600 in relation to ANY GROUP AUDIT (as I defined it above). A component will typically be a subsidiary.
10% is a threshold for disclosure of operating segments (see Chapter 17 of the SBR notes) in accordance with IFRS for LISTED entities only. A segment doesn’t have to have anything to do with the legal structure of entities – in theory, there could be just one legal entity (i.e. not a group), but it would still have segments (e.g. domestic/international, etc).August 31, 2018 at 2:21 am #470250Are they under the same IFRS 8?
August 31, 2018 at 7:12 am #470289What “they” are you referring to? I am sorry but I do not understand your question.
