Separate financial statements are those presented by an entity in addition to consolidated financial statements or financial statements using the equity method. In separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates must be accounted for either at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9, or using the equity method described in IAS 28. Separate financial statements must comply with all applicable IFRSs and include certain disclosures such as a list of significant investments, the accounting methods used, and the reasons for preparing separate statements if not required by law.
