26.8 Group plans
26.8.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 26.16

26.16  If a share-based payment award is granted by an entity to the employees of one or more members in the group, the members are permitted, as an alternative to the treatment set out in paragraphs 26.3 to 26.15, to recognise and measure the share- based payment expense on the basis of a reasonable allocation of the expense for the group.

26.8.2 OmniPro comment
26.8.2.1 Share based payments where shares issued in parent in return for service in Subsidiary

It is very common for employees of subsidiary companies to be granted shares/options in the subsidiary’s parent company in return for their service in the subsidiary company. As the service is provided to the subsidiary company, the expense must also be accounted for in the subsidiary financial statements.

26.8.2.1.1 Accounting for the SBC in the subsidiary

Where the employees of subsidiary companies are to be granted shares/options in the subsidiary’s parent company in return for their service in the subsidiary company as the service is provided to the subsidiary company, the expense must also be accounted for in the subsidiary financial statements.

There are a number of circumstances where the entity receiving goods or services would be expected to account for the awards as equity settled. These are where:

For all other arrangements the subsidiary will account for them as cash settled share based payment arrangements.

26.8.2.1.1.1 Recharge of costs by parent subsequently

Where the parent subsequently recharges the subsidiary a number of years later then the accounting in the subsidiary company for the recharge would be to:

CU CU
Dr Share Based Payment Reserve XXX
Dr Profit and loss with any excess XXX
Cr Intercompany/Bank XXX
26.8.2.1.2 Accounting for the SBC in the parent

Where the parent company issues shares/share options in itself to employees of a subsidiary the deemed cost is debited as an investment in the subsidiary (i.e. akin to a capital contribution) in the parent entity financial statements (not in the consolidated financial statements) subject to this not increasing the investment in the subsidiary above its recoverable amount. The journal entry would be as follows:

Dr Investment in Subsidiary

Cr Share Based Payment Reserve or provisions depending on whether it is cash settled or not.

26.8.2.1.2.1 Recharge of costs by parent subsequently 

Where the parent subsequently recharges the subsidiary a number of years later then the accounting in the parent company for the recharge would be to:

CU CU
Dr Share Based Payment Reserve XXX
Cr Investment in Subsidiary XXX
26.8.2.2 Allocation of share based payment charge within a group

Section 26.16 of FRS 102 allows a subsidiary undertaking to recognise and measure the cost of the SBC (Share Based Payment Charge) on a reasonable allocation of the expense for the group as a whole which will reduce the administrative burden on subsidiaries to provide detailed calculations.


26.8.2.3 Share based payment accounting in Groups
Example 26: SBC and groups

Parent A issues shares/options in itself to the employees of Subsidiary A and B for the services provided to the subsidiaries. The parent does not charge the subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statements these would be treated as equity settled as they are settled by the issuance of shares. Under Section 26, the parent can recharge subsidiaries A and B on a reasonable basis. In the consolidated financial statements the following journals would be included:

CU CU
Dr Employee Costs – SBC XXX
Cr Share Based Payment Reserve XXX

In the parent entity financial statements the journal would be

CU CU
Dr Investment in Subsidiary with Deemed Capital Contribution XXX
Cr Share Based Payment Reserve XXX

In the books for the subsidiaries the journal would be to:

CU CU
Dr Employee Costs with the Share Based Payment Cost for the Service Provided in Year CU
Cr Share Based Payment Reserve CU

Example 27: SBC and groups

If we take the above example and assume the group does recharge the subsidiary (usually done for tax purposes as the subsidiary will get a tax deduction in the UK, if a UK subsidiary is recharged for the cost by the parent). Then the accounting in the subsidiary company would be to:

CU CU
Dr Share Based Payment Reserve XXX
Dr Profit and loss with any excess XXX
Cr Intercompany/Bank XXX

In the books of the parent entity the journals would be:

CU CU
Dr Share Based Payment Reserve XXX
Cr Investment in Subsidiary XXX
