Cash flows arising from insurance contracts
IFRS 4 requires that where an insurance entity presents its operating cash flows using
the direct method, it should separately disclose cash flows arising from insurance
contracts. [IFRS 4.37(b)]. Comparative information is required. [IFRS 4.42]. When an entity
adopts IFRS 17 the specific disclosure requirements under IFRS 4 will no longer apply
(see 7.1 above).
Statement of cash flows 3041
8.3
Cash flows arising from the exploration of mineral resources
In a similar vein, IFRS 6 – Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources –
requires that an entity discloses the amounts of operating and investing cash flows
arising from the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. [IFRS 6.24(b)]. The
requirements of IFRS 6 are discussed in Chapter 39. The requirement for investing cash
flows to give rise to the recognition of an asset, discussed at 4.2 above, is particularly
relevant to entities applying IFRS 6.
8.4
Cash flows arising from interests in subsidiaries, joint ventures
and associates
IFRS 12 requires an entity to disclose in its consolidated financial statements
summarised financial information about the cash flows for each subsidiary that has non-
controlling interests that are material to the entity. [IFRS 12.B10(b)]. These amounts are
stated before inter-company eliminations. [IFRS 12.B11].
For each material joint venture and associate an entity is also required to disclose
dividends received from the joint venture or associate [IFRS 12.B12(a)] and, for joint
ventures, the amount of cash and cash equivalents. [IFRS 12.B13(a)]. In addition, the
standard requires disclosure of any significant restrictions on the ability of joint ventures
or associates to transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash dividends, or to repay
loans or advances made by the entity. [IFRS 12.22(a)].
IFRS 12 is discussed in more detail in Chapter 13.
