Study Notes

Consolidation: Intragroup Transactions

  • Consolidated financial statements show the parent company and subsidiaries as a single entity.
  • These statements exclude internal transactions, focusing on external dealings.
  • Adjustments for intragroup transactions ensure consistency with the entity concept.
  • This concept views the entire group as combined net assets of parent and subsidiaries.
  • Internal transactions must be fully eliminated.

Examples of Intragroup Transactions Requiring Adjustments

  • Services: Management fees between group entities in the current period.
  • Dividends: Dividends received or payable between parent entities and subsidiaries.
  • Loans: Outstanding loan balances between entities at period-end, including interest for the current period.
  • Sales of Goods: Sales of goods between entities in the current period, including any interest or unrealized profits in ending inventories.
  • Unrealized Profits: Unrealized profits in opening inventories from prior period sales.
  • Receivables/Payables: Outstanding receivables and payables between entities during the current period.
  • Non-current Asset Transfers: Gain or loss on transfer of non-current assets between entities, including excess or under-depreciation adjustments.

Pro-forma Worksheet Entries

  • Intra-group Services: Debit Service Expense, Credit Service Revenue.
  • Dividends (Declared and Paid): Debit Dividend Paid, Credit Dividend Revenue.
  • Dividends (Declared and Payable): Debit Dividend Payable, Credit Dividend Receivable, further Credit Dividend Revenue.
  • Outstanding Loans: Debit Loan Payable, Credit Loan Receivable.
  • Outstanding Debentures: Debit Debentures Liability, Credit Investments in Debentures. Interest related: Debit to Interest Expense, Credit to Interest Revenue.
  • Sales of goods (current-period): Debit Cost of Sales, Credit Sales Revenue. Any unrealized profit in the ending inventory has to be reported separately.
  • Sales of goods (previous period): Adjustments for unrealized profit in opening inventories from prior period sales.
  • Receivables/Payables: Adjustments for accounts payable/receivable. This impacts intercompany transactions.

Assets and Deferred Tax

  • A deferred tax asset occurs when future tax deductions exceed current asset worth, leading to tax savings later.
  • Conversely, a deferred tax liability happens when current asset worth is less than future tax deductions, resulting in future tax obligations.
