               CHAPTER 10 – RELATED PARTIES


               10.1 D

                     Suppliers and customers are not considered related parties per IAS 24. A loan
                     to a supplier is not a related party transaction. No disclosure is necessary.

                     Transactions with close family members of key management personnel and
                     entities controlled by related parties (e.g. controlled by close family members of
                     key management personnel) are considered related parties. Therefore, A and B
                     are related party transactions. Disclosure of the transactions is required.

                     Associates are deemed to be related parties. Therefore, a loan to an associate
                     from its parent company is a related party transaction and would be disclosed.


               10.2 B

                     Disclosure can highlight where undue influence is being exerted by related
                     parties. This will be of interest to the users of the accounts to identify non-
                     economic transactions with no commercial  value e.g. transactions with no
                     consideration. As long as transparency  exists and disclosure occurs, related
                     party transactions are a common occurrence and necessary in numerous
                     businesses operations.

                     Related party transactions are part of everyday business and are not illegal. So
                     A is inaccurate.

                     Suppliers, financiers, customers and trade  unions are specified by IAS 24 as
                     not considered as related parties. Therefore, C is inaccurate.

                     Intergroup transactions should be eliminated from the group accounts.
                     Therefore, the purpose of related party transactions is not to quantify intergroup
                     transactions within the consolidated accounts. There is nothing to quantify as
                     the transactions are not included in the financial statements of the group.
