    The entry would be:

    Dr Investment in Subsidiary XX

    Cr Retained Earnings XX

    Explanation:

    The IFRS says that the invesments in associates must be accounted for in accordance to equity method. Which says the net difference of profit after tax and dividends received would will go to investment in associate account and the dividend received would go to the retained earnings because it has been cashed.
