9.13 Intermediate payment arrangements
9.13.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 9.33-9.38

9.33 Intermediate payment arrangements may take a variety of forms:

(a) The intermediary is usually established by a sponsoring entity and constituted as a trust, although other arrangements are possible.

(b) The relationship between the sponsoring entity and the intermediary may take different forms. For example, when the intermediary is constituted as a trust, the sponsoring entity will not have a right to direct the intermediary’s activities. However, in these and other cases the sponsoring entity may give advice to the intermediary or may be relied on by the intermediary to provide the information it needs to carry out its activities. Sometimes, the way the intermediary has been set up gives it little discretion in the broad nature of its activities.

(c) The arrangements are most commonly used to pay employees, although they are sometimes used to compensate suppliers of goods and services other than employee services. Sometimes the sponsoring entity’s employees and other suppliers are not the only beneficiaries of the arrangement. Other beneficiaries may include past employees and their dependents, and the intermediary may be entitled to make charitable donations.

(d) The precise identity of the persons or entities that will receive payments from the intermediary, and the amounts that they will receive, are not usually agreed at the outset.

(e) The sponsoring entity often has the right to appoint or veto the appointment of the intermediary’s trustees (or its directors or the equivalent).

(f) The payments made to the intermediary and the payments made by the intermediary are often cash payments but may involve other transfers of value.

Examples of intermediate payment arrangements are employee share ownership plans (ESOPs) and employee benefit trusts that are used to facilitate employee shareholdings under remuneration schemes. In a typical employee benefit trust arrangement for share-based payments, an entity makes payments to a trust or guarantees borrowing by the trust, and the trust uses its funds to accumulate assets to pay the entity’s employees for services the employees have rendered to the entity.

Although the trustees of an intermediary must act at all times in accordance with the interests of the beneficiaries of the intermediary, most intermediaries (particularly those established as a means of remunerating employees) are specifically designed so as to serve the purposes of the sponsoring entity, and to ensure that there will be minimal risk of any conflict arising between the duties of the trustees of the intermediary and the interest of the sponsoring entity, such that there is nothing to encumber implementation of the wishes of the sponsoring entity in practice. Where this is the case, the sponsoring entity has de facto control.

Accounting for intermediate payment arrangements

9.34 When a sponsoring entity makes payments (or transfers assets) to an intermediary, there is a rebuttable presumption that the entity has exchanged one asset for another and that the payment itself does not represent an immediate expense. To rebut this presumption at the time the payment is made to the intermediary, the entity must demonstrate:

(a) it will not obtain future economic benefit from the amounts transferred; or

(b) it does not have control of the right or other access to the future economic benefit it is expected to receive.

9.35 Where a payment to an intermediary is an exchange by the sponsoring entity of one asset for another, any assets that the intermediary acquires in a subsequent exchange transaction will also be under the control of the entity. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the intermediary shall be accounted for by the sponsoring entity as an extension of its own business and recognised in its own individual financial statements. An asset will cease to be recognised as an asset of the sponsoring entity when, for example, the asset of the intermediary vests unconditionally with identified beneficiaries.

9.36  A sponsoring entity may distribute its own equity instruments, or other equity instruments, to an intermediary in order to facilitate employee shareholdings under a remuneration scheme. Where this is the case and the sponsoring entity has control, or de facto control, of the assets and liabilities of the intermediary, the commercial effect is that the sponsoring entity is, for all practical purposes, in the same position as if it had purchased the shares directly.

9.37 Where an intermediary holds the sponsoring entity’s equity instruments, the sponsoring entity shall account for the equity instruments as if it had purchased them directly. The sponsoring entity shall account for the assets and liabilities of the intermediary in its individual financial statements as follows:

(a) The consideration paid for the equity instruments of the sponsoring entity shall be deducted from equity until such time that the equity instruments vest unconditionally with employees.

(b) Consideration paid or received for the purchase or sale of the sponsoring entity’s own equity instruments shall be shown as separate amounts in the statement of changes in equity.

(c) Other assets and liabilities of the intermediary shall be recognised as assets and liabilities of the sponsoring entity.

(d) No gain or loss shall be recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the entity’s own equity instruments.

(e) Finance costs and any administration expenses shall be recognised on an accruals basis rather than as funding payments are made to the intermediary.

(f) Any dividend income arising on the sponsoring entity’s own equity instruments shall be excluded from profit or loss and deducted from the aggregate of dividends paid.

9.13.2 OmniPro comment

It is unlikely that many entities will come across intermediary arrangements as detailed in Section 9.33 to 9.37 of FRS 102 in practice as a result this has not been dealt with further. It has been included for information purposes. It usually applies to employee share ownership schemes.
