Adoption of new or revised standards and Interpretations (continued)
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain joint control of the joint
operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business as defined in IFRS 3. The amendments clarify
that the previously held interests in that joint operation are not remeasured.
An entity applies those amendments to transactions in which it obtains joint control on or after the beginning of
the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early application permitted.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as there is no transaction where
a joint control is obtained.
IAS 12 Income Taxes
The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past transactions or
events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners. Therefore, an entity recognises the income tax
consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally
recognised those past transactions or events.
An entity applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early
application is permitted. When an entity first applies those amendments, it applies them to the income tax consequences
of dividends recognised on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period.
Since the Group's current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Group.
(g) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries as at
31 December 2019. Subsidiaries are those investees that the Group controls. Control is achieved when the Group is
exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
Power to direct relevant activities of the investees that significantly affect their returns;
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investees; and
The ability to use its power over the investees to affect the amount of investor's returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant
facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;
►
The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes
to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control
over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated;
unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the cost cannot be recovered. The Bank and all of its subsidiaries use
uniform accounting policies consistent with the Group's policies.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.
Non-controlling interest is that part of the net results and of the equity of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are
not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Group. Non-controlling interest forms a separate component of the Group's equity.
The Group measures non-controlling interest that represents present ownership interest and entitles the holder to a
proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation on a transaction by transaction basis, either at the non-
controlling interest's proportionate share of net assets of the acquiree or fair value.
