Study Notes
Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Business Combinations
- Consolidated financial statements combine the financial results of a parent company and its subsidiaries as if they were a single entity.
- The accounting framework for business combinations involves several steps, including calculating and allocating the acquisition differential (AD).
- The AD represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.
- An AD amortization and impairment schedule is prepared to track the AD over time and account for any changes in value.
- A schedule detailing intercompany transactions and balances is also prepared to ensure that transactions between the parent and subsidiary are properly recorded.
- A schedule detailing unrealized and realized profits on intercompany transactions is necessary to eliminate double-counting and ensure accurate reporting.
- Net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent and the amount attributable to non-controlling interest (NCI) must be calculated separately.
- NCI represents the portion of a subsidiary's equity that is not owned by the parent company.
- The statement of financial position must also reflect the NCI portion of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities.
- Consolidated financial statements provide a comprehensive view of the financial performance of a group of companies.
- Consolidation is necessary because subsidiaries are legally separate entities, but from an accounting perspective, they are part of a single economic entity.
- Consolidated financial statements are used by investors, analysts, and other stakeholders to evaluate the financial health and performance of a group of companies.
