Basis of consolidation
The Group accounts include the accounts of the parent undertaking, subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. The results of businesses acquired during the year are included from the effective date of acquisition. The results of businesses disposed of during the year are included up to the date of relinquishing control. A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation, or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation, and which has been sold, permanently terminated or classified as held for sale at the period end. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale if earlier. Prior years income statements are restated to reflect that business as discontinued.

Associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised income and expense of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an associate.

Joint ventures
Joint ventures are those undertakings over which the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s proportionate share of the entities’ assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses with items of a similar nature on a line by line basis, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases.
