Disclosure Of Basis Of Preparation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PREPARATION | BASIS OF PREPARATION2.1 The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical basis except where otherwise disclosed in the accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (US$’000), except when otherwise indicated. 2.2 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of APWC and its subsidiaries (collectively as “our Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of operations of our Company for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition (the date on which our Company obtains control), and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Our Company controls an entity when our Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and balance sheets, respectively. Total comprehensive income (loss) within a subsidiary is attributed to the non-controlling interest even if it results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If our Company loses control over a subsidiary, it: u Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary u Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest u Derecognizes the cumulative transaction differences recorded in equity u Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received u Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained u Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss u Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if our Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liability. 2.2 Basis of consolidation (continued) The subsidiaries of our Company are set out below:
