Accounting for Business Combination is one of the most important and

interesting topic Of accounting theory and practice and its complex topic.
Since 1950 Pooling of interest been generally accepted. Until 2001 accounting
requirements for business combination recognized Both pooling & purchase
methods.
In 1999 FASB issued a report supporting its proposed decision to eliminate
Pooling of interest for the following Reasons: Pooling provides less relevant
information to statement users & ignore economic value exchange in
the transaction. Pooling creates these problem because it uses Historical book
Value rather than Fair value of net assets at the transaction date.
GAAP requires recording asset Acquisitions at fair value. Gaap Eliminated the
pooling of interest method of accounting initiated after June 30, 2001.
Businesses must use the Acquisition Method because the new standard
prohibited use pooling method. IFRS also consistent with GAAP and requires
to use the purchase methods. Accounting for business combination was
a major joint project between FASB & IASB.
FASB Statement No. 141 eliminated the pooling of interest method

for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. Combinations initiated
after this date must use the purchase method. Prior combinations will be
grandfathered.
Pooling uses historical book values to record combinations rather than
recognizing fair values of net assets at the transaction date.
Acquisitions Method requires the recording

of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at
their fair values at the date of combination.
The Acquisitions Method requires

The Goodwill Controversy

Under FASB Statements No. 141 and No. 142,
the FASB requires that firms periodically assess
goodwill for impairment of its value.
An impairment occurs when the recorded value

of goodwill is less than its fair value.

Firms must amortize intangible assets with

Consolidation of financial information is required when

one organization gains control of another.
If dissolution occurs, this consolidation is carried out at

the date of acquisition and a single set of accounting
records is maintained.
If separate identities are maintained, consolidation is a

periodic worksheet process not involving journal entries.
Separate accounting records are maintained.
The acquisition method is GAAP beginning in 2009.
Legacy effects for the purchase method (for combinations

occurring through 2008) and the pooling method (through
6/30/2002) remain in subsequent years financial reports.
