IAS 28 INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND IAS 28 (2011) INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
1 INTRODUCTION
IAS 28 prescribes the accounting treatment of investments in associates. Associates are generally accounted for according to the equity method in the investor's consolidated financial statements.
