4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4.16 RELATED PARTIES
A party is related to an entity (referred to as the “reporting entity”) if:-
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that person:-
(i)
has control or joint control over the reporting entity;
(ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting
entity.
(b) An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies:-
(i)
The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each parent,
subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a
member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting
entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the
sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity.
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a) above.
(vii) A person identified in (a)(i) above has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key
management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or
be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.
4.17 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be
confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not
probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be
measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a
change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as
a provision.
4.18 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is
directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction
takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous
market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s participant’s
ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
