According to AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Parties, for each subsidiary where a non-controlling interest exists, the parent entity must disclose the proportion of ownership interests held by non-controlling interests as well as the country of incorporation of subsidiaries. Additionally, summarised financial information may be disclosed at the discretion of the parent entity. The names of all other members are not required to be disclosed, therefore option III is incorrect. As a result, the best choice is A, which includes I, II, and IV only.
