power exercisable through ownership of voting rights and is generally aligned with the risks and/or returns (collectively referred to as “variable returns”) absorbed from subsidiaries through those voting rights. As a result, the Bank controls and consolidates subsidiaries when it holds the majority of the voting rights of the subsidiary, unless there is evidence that another investor has control over the subsidiary. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered in assessing whether the Bank controls an entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Bank obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date when control ceases to exist.
The Bank may consolidate certain subsidiaries where it owns 50% or less of the voting rights. Most of those subsidiaries are structured entities as described in the following section.
Structured Entities
Structured entities, including special purpose entities (SPEs), are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective. Structured entities may take the form of a corporation, trust, partnership, or unincorporated entity. They are often created with legal arrangements that impose limits on the decision-making powers of their governing board, trustee, or management over the operations of the entity. Typically, structured entities may not be controlled directly through holding more than half of the voting power of the entity as the ownership of voting rights may not be aligned with the variable returns absorbed from the entity. As a result, structured entities are consolidated when the substance of the relationship between the Bank and the structured entity indicates that the entity is controlled by the Bank. When assessing whether the Bank has to consolidate a structured entity, the Bank evaluates three primary criteria in order to conclude whether, in substance: • The Bank has the power to direct the activities of the structured entity that have the most significant impact on the entity’s risks and/or returns;
• The Bank is exposed to significant variable returns arising from the entity; and
• The Bank has the ability to use its power to affect the risks and/or returns to which it is exposed.
Consolidation conclusions are reassessed at the end of each financial reporting period. The Bank’s policy is to consider the impact on consolidation of all significant changes in circumstances, focusing on the following: • Substantive changes in ownership, such as the purchase or disposal of more than an insignificant additional interest in an entity;
• Changes in contractual or governance arrangements of an entity; • Additional activities undertaken, such as providing a liquidity facility beyond the original terms or entering into a transaction not originally contemplated; or
• Changes in the financing structure of an entity.
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Entities over which the Bank has significant influence are associates and entities over which the Bank has joint control are joint ventures. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but is not control or joint control over these entities. Associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in associates and joint ventures are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet initially at cost and increased or decreased to recognize the Bank’s share of the profit or loss of the associate or joint venture, capital transactions, including the receipt of any dividends, and write-downs to reflect any impairment in the value of such entities. These increases or decreases, together with any gains and losses realized on disposition, are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
At each balance sheet date, the Bank assesses whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in an associate or joint venture is impaired. The Bank calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the higher of fair value or value-in-use and its carrying value.
Non-controlling Interests
When the Bank does not own all of the equity of a consolidated entity, the minority shareholders’ interest is presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries as a component of total equity, separate from the equity of the Bank’s shareholders. The income attributable to the minority interest holders, net of tax, is presented as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
Cash and due from banks consist of cash and amounts due from banks which are issued by investment grade financial institutions. These amounts are due on demand or have an original maturity of three months or less.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Bank and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue associated with the rendering of services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period.
Interest from interest-bearing assets and liabilities is recognized
as net interest income using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that discounts expected future cash flows for the expected life of the financial instrument to its carrying value. The calculation takes into account the contractual interest rate, along with any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and all other premiums or discounts.
Investment and securities services income include asset management fees, administration and commission fees, and investment banking fees. Asset management fees and administration and commission fees include income from investment management and related services, custody and institutional trust services, and brokerage services, which are recognized as income over the period in which the related service is rendered. Investment management fees are primarily calculated based on average daily or point in time assets under management (AUM) or by assets under administration (AUA) by investment mandate. Administration fees earned may either be a fixed amount per client account, or calculated based on a percentage of daily, monthly, or annual AUM for institutional accounts. Investment banking fees, including advisory fees, are recognized as income when earned, and underwriting fees are recognized as income when the Bank has rendered all services to the issuer and is entitled to collect the fee. Credit fees include commissions, liquidity fees, restructuring fees, and loan syndication fees and are recognized as earned. Card services income, including interchange income from credit and debit cards and annual fees, is recognized as earned, except for annual fees, which are recognized over a twelve-month period. Service charges, trust, and other fee income is recognized as earned. Revenue recognition policies related to financial instruments and insurance are described in the following accounting policies.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS OTHER THAN DERIVATIVES Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities
Financial instruments are included within the trading portfolio if they have been originated, acquired, or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, or they form part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short- term profit-taking.
Included within the trading portfolio are trading securities, trading loans, trading deposits, securitization liabilities at fair value, obligations related to securities sold short, and physical commodities, as well as certain financing-type physical commodities transactions that are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements, respectively. Trading portfolio assets and liabilities are recognized on a trade date basis and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal recognized in trading income. Physical commodities are measured at fair value less costs to sell.
