Chapter 3 - Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements - Subsequent fo Date of Acquisition Introduction This chapter examines procedures for consolidating the financial statements of porent and subsidiary companies. Some differences in the consoldation process result from diferent methods of parent- ‘company accounting for subsidiary investments. Investments in voting stock of other companies may be consolidated, or they may be separately reported in the financial statements at cost, af far vatve, or, ‘carrying value of equity. The method of reporting adopted depends on o number of factors including the size ofthe investment, the extent fo which the investor exercises control over the activites ofthe investee, ‘ond the marketabilty ofthe secures.

The chapter examines ‘adcitional complenites that aise from detailed recording of far values of a subsicioy’s net assets: The appendix to this chapter aso ilustrates the equity method with and without recognition of goodwill impaiment loss. By contras, this chapter presents a workpaper that develops the information needed for consolidated balance sheets and income and retained earnings statements Consolidated Statements Subsequent to Date of Acquisition The preparation of consolidated financial statements afler acquisition is not materially different in concept from preparing them at the acquisition date in the sense that reciprocal accounts are eliminated and remaining balances are combined. The process is more complex, however, because time has elapsed and business activity has taken place between the date of acquisition and the date of consolidated statement preparation. On the date of acquisition, the only relevant financial statement is the consolidated balance sheet; after acquisition, a complete set of consolidated financial statements - statement of comprehensive income, and retained eamings statement. Separate Financial Statements PAS 27 paragraph 4 defines separate financial statements as “those presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venturer in a jointly controlled entity, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees”. “Advanced Financial Accounting = A Comprehensive: Conceptual & Procedural Approach CHAPTER 3 q : In other words, the fasset on the investor's balance sheet is the direct interest in the investment itself, The following level of reporting is described in i Qe Produces its own single economic financial sta! ble 3.1, wherein a parent company ments or consolidated financig statements: z| each Levels of Rey Table 3.1: summarizes the Accounting Treatment required at an for Consolidated Financi Statements (CFS) Purposes Required naire Sones srelatatotemons | Group account Investment | Citteria Financial Stalements’. | Financ! 8) Subsidiary | Control PAST Invesimentiscaried | PFRS 10 Full Consolation {51% or more). | ot Invesimeniis 1.
