ACQUISITION OF A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY (100% INTEREST)
Preparation of Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
Using consolidation working paper, eliminate Investment in Subsidiary account on the Parent’s statement of financial position against the stockholder’s equity accounts in the statement of financial position of the subsidiary. Adjust the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary to their fair values. Recognize goodwill or gain on acquisition. Eliminate the remaining balance of Investment in subsidiary account. Recognize any non-controlling interest (measured at fair values). Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position. NOTE: The above steps are only done in the consolidation working paper and therefore, they are not recorded of either the parent or subsidiary company.
ACQUISITION OF A PARTIALLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY (LESS THAN 100%
INTEREST) Difference between partially owned and wholly owned subsidiary is the measurement of NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST. As per IFRS 3, the entity has a choice between the FV or PROPORTIONATE SHARE. The option to value NCI at fair value will be used throughout (unless stated).
