Accounting policy
The Group’s interests in investments accounted for using the equity method consist of interests in associates and joint ventures.
Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence on the financial and operational policy, but which it does not control. A joint venture is an agreement through which the Group shares in the control and in which the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement rather than rights with respect to the assets and obligations with respect to the liabilities.
Associates and joint ventures over which control is exercised jointly are accounted for using the equity method and measured at cost upon initial recognition. The cost of the investment includes the transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share in the total comprehensive income of the investments accounted for using the equity method, up to the date on which it ceases to exercise significant influence.
