Accounting For Business Combination L3 Lesson 3: IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statement
The objective of the standard is to establish principles for the presentation and
preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more
other entities.
An entity that is a parent shall present consolidated financial statements. This IFRS applies
to all entities, except as follows:
A. a parent need not present consolidated financial statements if it meets all the
following conditions:
1. it is a wholly-owned subsidiary or is a partially-owned subsidiary of
another entity and all its other owners, including those not otherwise
entitled to vote, have been informed about, and do not object to,
the parent not presenting consolidated financial statements;
2. its debt or equity instruments are not traded in a public market (a
domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market,
including local and regional markets);
3. it did not file, nor is it in the process of filing, its financial statements
with a securities commission or other regulatory organization for the
purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market; and
4. its ultimate or any intermediate parent produces consolidated
financial statements that are available for public use and comply
with IFRSs.
B. post-employment benefit plans or other long-term employee benefit plans to
which IAS 19 Employee Benefits applies.
C. An investment entity need not present consolidated financial statements if it is
required, in accordance with paragraph 31 of this IFRS, to measure all of its
subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.
Consolidation is the process of combining the assets, liabilities, earnings and cashflows
of a parent and its subsidiary as if they were one economic entity.
Accounting Requirements:
Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of
the investee and cease when the investor loses control over the investee.
Consolidation Procedures:
1. Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash
flows of the parent with those of its subsidiary.
2. Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each
subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary.
3. Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expense and
cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group.
**profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are
recognized in assets such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in
full.
Accounting for the “Fair Value” Adjustment on the Net Assets of Subsidiary
The fair value adjustment (or the excess) refers to the difference on the book value and
fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary on the date of acquisition. Remember, that
the books of the subsidiary is completely unaffected by the combination when the
parent acquired all of the majority of its voting shares.
Therefore, the valuation of the subsidiary’s net asset on the separate financial
statement of the subsidiary is at book value.
Goodwill should be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill arising from
business combination with a continuing non-controlling interest shall be tested for
impairment using an approach consistent with the approach used to measure the non-
controlling interest at the acquisition date.
Therefore, if NCI is measured at fair value (full goodwill method), impairment shall be
allocated to both the NCI and the parent. On the other hand, if the NCI is measured at
the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets (partial goodwill method) the
impairment loss shall not be allocated.
