The equity method of accounting is used for recording investments in which an investor possesses significant influence over the investee, typically signified by owning 20% to 50% of the voting stock. Under this method, the investor recognizes its share of the investee's profits and losses in proportion to its ownership interest, adjusting the carrying value of the investment on their balance sheet accordingly.
