DEFINITION
The financial statements of a group in which the assets, liabilities, equity, income,
expenses and cash flows of the parent and its subsidiaries are presented as those of
a single economic entity
The Standard [IFRS 10:1] requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or
more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements
RECORDING INVESTMENT ACCOUNT
It is necessary to eliminate the investment account of the parent company against the
related stockholders’ equity of the subsidiary to avoid double count of these net assets.
When parent’s share of subsidiary’s equity is eliminated against the investment account,
subsidiary’s net assets are substituted for the investment account in the consolidated
balance sheet.
Computation of Allocation of Difference between Implied Value and Book
Value
Step 1: Determine percentage of stock acquired.
Step 2: Divide purchase price by the percentage acquired to calculate the
implied value of the subsidiary.
Step 3: Difference between step 2 and book value of subsidiary’s equity must
be allocated to adjust the underlying assets and liabilities of the acquired
company.
