IFRS 3 requires that goodwill be subject to an impairment review. The subsidiary is regarded as the cash generating unit.

Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability that : Is a financial instrument and is within the scope of IAS 39 shall be measured at fair value, with any resulting gain or loss recognized either in profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income. Is not within the scope of IAS 39 shall be accounted for in accordance with IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, or other IFRSs as appropriate.

Brief recap on accounting for associates Significant influence 20% -50% Board representation

Associates are equity accounted for in the group accounts. Group balance sheet extract Investment in associate A% of net assets (as adjusted for any depreciation and URP) Plus the goodwill not yet written off

Group income statement extract Income from associate undertakings A% of the profit after tax (as adjusted for any depreciation and URP) Less goodwill impairment loss

() Balances, transactions between the associate and the group companies are not eliminated. URP is eliminated to the extent of group share. IAS 31 Interest in joint ventures Joint venture: a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Jointly controlled operations Each venture uses its own assets, incurs its own expenses and liabilities, and raises its own finance. IAS 31 requires that the venture should recognise in its financial statements the assets that it controls, the liabilities that it incurs, the expenses that it incurs, and its share of the income from the sale of goods or services by the joint venture. Jointly controlled assets Jointly controlled assets involve the joint control, and often the joint ownership, of assets dedicated to the joint venture. Each venture may take a share of the output from the assets and each bears a share of the expenses incurred.

IAS 31 requires that the venture should recognise in its financial statements it share of the joint assets, any liabilities incurred, income and expenses in the joint venture.

Jointly controlled entities A jointly controlled entity is a corporation, partnership, or other entity in which two or more venturers have an interest, under a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over the entity. Each venture usually contributes cash or other resources to the jointly controlled entity. Those contributions are included in the accounting records of the venture and recognised in the venturers financial statements as an investment in the jointly controlled entity. IAS 31 allows two treatments of accounting for an investment in jointly controlled entities except as noted below: Method 1: proportionate consolidation Under proportionate consolidation, the balance sheet of the venture includes its share of the assets and its share of the liabilities. The income statement of the venture includes its share of the income and expenses of the jointly controlled entity. Method 2: equity method of accounting Procedures for applying the equity method are the same as those described in IAS 28 investments in associates. Transactions between a venture and a joint venture Balances, transactions between the JV and the group companies are not eliminated. URP is eliminated to the extent of group share. 2. Complex group structures A vertical group A 60% B 70% C In this illustration: A controls B and B controls C.

As A controls B, it also controls Bs holdings in other companies. Hence, B and C are subsidiaries of A as they are controlled by A.

Company C is often called a sub-subsidiary. In a vertical group, use the group structure to determine the status of investments. The key is to identify control relationships The parent controls its subsidiaries holdings in other companies but does not control associate holdings. The date of acquisition by A is the date on which A gains control. If B already held C, treat B and C as being acquired on the same day. The group structure is vital always identify this first and determine the status of investment. Also look carefully at dates to identify when the parent obtained control. Effective group interest Using the earlier group structure: A owns 60% if B and B owns 70% of C So A has an effective group interest in C of 60%*70% = 42% NCI own 58% of C

Mixed group The group is structure in manner where both the ultimate parent and a subsidiary have an interest on another entity. For example H 60% S 30% T is a subsidiary of H controls 30% directly and 30% indirectly via its interest in S. thus 60% is controlled. Consolidation is performed in a single stage using the consolidation percentages. S group share Minority share T group share Direct 30% 60% 40% 30% T

Indirect 60%of 30% 18% Minority share Step acquisition

48% 52%

a. control is achieved through two or more transactions The principles to be applied are: A business combination occurs only in respect of the transaction that gives one entity control of anther The identifiable net assets of the acquire are remeasured to their fair value on the date of acquisition Non-controlling interests are measured on the date of acquisition under one of the two options permitted by IFRS 3 Goodwill is measured as: Consideration transferred to obtain control Plus Amount of non-controlling interest (using either option) Plus Fair value of previously-held equity interest Less Fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquire b. transactions between parent and non-controlling interests Once control has been achieved, further transactions whereby the parent entity acquires further equity interests from non-controlling interests, or disposes of equity interests but without losing control, are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners) it follows that: The carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary; Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent and;

There is no consequential adjustment to the carrying amount of goodwill, and no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

3. Disposal a. loss of control IAS 27 details the adjustments made when a parent losses control of a subsidiary, based on the date when control is lost: Derecognise the carrying amount of assets (including goodwill), liabilities and noncontrolling interests; Recognise the fair value of consideration received; Recognise any distribution of shares to owners; Recognise the fair value of any residual interest; Reclassify to profit or loss any amounts (i.e. the entire amount, not a proportion) relating to the subsidiarys assets and liabilities previously recognised in other comprehensive income as if the assets and liabilities had been disposed of directly; and Recognise any resulting difference as a gain or loss in profit or loss attributable to the parent b. Transactions between parent and NCI Same principle as step acquisition (equity transaction) c. Full disposal Calculate gain or loss by comparing FV of consideration received, and FV of NA at date of disposal plus unimpaired goodwill 4. Foreign currency Individual company stage Functional and presentational currencies The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment where the entity operates, in many cases this will be the local currency. An entity should consider the following factors in determining its functional currency: The currency than mainly influences sales prices for goods and services

The currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determine the sales price of goods and services The currency that mainly influences labour, material and other costs of providing goods and services.

The presentation currency is the currency in which the entity presents its financial statements and this can be different from the functional currency, particularly if the entity in question is a foreign owned subsidiary. It may have to present its financial statements in the currency of the parent company. Even though that is different from their every day trading currency. Individual transactions in a foreign currency At transaction date: At the spot exchange rate on the date the transaction occurred; or Using an average rate over a period of time providing the exchange rate has not fluctuated significantly. At subsequent balance sheet dates: Foreign currency monetary items (debtors, creditors, cash, loans) must be translated using the closing rate. Foreign currency non-monetary items (fixed assets, investments, stock) are not retranslated Exchange differences are recognized in income.

Group stage Where there is an overseas subsidiary that has a functional currency which is a local currency, prior to consolidation it will need to be translated into using the closing rate method. Closing rate method The balance sheet of the overseas entity is translated using the closing rate. The income statement items are translated at the average rate for the period.

Exchange differences in the group accounts With the closing rate method the group percentage of the exchange difference is dealt with in reserves.

Part two summary of IAS and IFRS 1. IAS 10 events after the balance sheet date Post balance sheet events: an event which occurs after the year end but before the FS are approved. If it gives the new evidence on condition which existed at the year end, then adjusting PBSE apply relevant accounting treatment. If it gives new evidence on condition which did not exist at the year end, but impacts going concern assumption, then adjust. If it does not impact the going concern, then disclose in nature and estimate of financial effect. 2. IAS 37 provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions: only provide if obligation legal or constructive; probable transfer of economic benefit resulting from a past event; can be reliably measured Contingent liability: potential liability, assess likelihood of liability, remote ignore, possible disclose, probable disclose/provide Contingent asset: potential asset, assess likelihood of asset, remote ignore, possible ignore, probable disclose

Provision: A liability of uncertain timing or amount Measurement of provisions Best estimate this means: Provisions for one-off events (restructuring, environmental clean-up, settlement of a lawsuit) are measured at the most likely amount Provisions for large populations of events (warranties, customer refunds) are measured at a probability-weighted expected value. Both measurements are at discounted present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Remeasurement They should be reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision should be reversed. Restructurings Restructuring provisions should be accrued as follows: Sale of operation: accrue provision only after a binding sale agreement Closure or reorganisation: accrue only after a detailed formal plan is adopted and announced publicly. A board decision is not enough. Future operating losses: provisions should not be recognised for future operating losses, even in a restructuring Restructuring provision on acquisition (merger): accrue provision for terminating employees, closing facilities, and eliminating product lines only if announced at acquisition and, then only if a detailed formal plan is adopted 3 months after acquisition. Restructuring provisions should include only direct expenditures caused by the restructuring, not costs that associated with the ongoing activities of the enterprise. Onerous contracts

The least net cost should be recognised as a provision. The least net cost is lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract or of terminating it and suffering any penalty payments. Debit entry When a provision (liability) is recognised, the debit entry for a provision is not always an expense. Sometimes the provision may form part of the cost of the asset. Examples: obligation for environmental cleanup when a new mine is opened or an offshore oil rig is installed. Contingent liabilities It requires that enterprises should not recognise contigent liabilities but should disclose them, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is remote. Contingent assets Contingent assets should not be recognised but should be disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Non-current assets 3. IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment Recognition Meet definition of asset Owner occupied asset with physical existence

Major inspection or overhaul costs They can be treated as a separate component of the asset, they will be depreciated over the period up until the next overhaul date Initial measurement They should be initially recorded at cost. Cost includes all costs necessary to bring the asset to working condition for its intended use. Measurement subsequent to initial recognition IAS 16 permits two accounting models: Cost model

Revaluation model

The revaluation model Upwards revaluation reserves unless reverses previous decrease Downwards income statements unless reverses previous increase May transfer differences between new and old depreciation from RR to RE On disposal, transfer remaining balance of RR to RE. The transfer to retained earnings should not be made through the income statement. 4. IAS 36 impairment of assets Impairment. An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount. The higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell (sometimes called net selling price) and its value in use. Value in use. The discounted present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the use of the asset. Asset are tested for impairment annually An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life An intangible asset not yet available for use Goodwill acquired in a business combination

Indications of impairment External sources Market value declines Negative changes in technology, markets, economy, or laws Increases in market interest rates Company stock price is below book value

Internal sources Obsolescence or physical damage Asset is part of a restructuring or held for disposal Worse economic performance than expected

Recognition of an impairment loss The impairment loss is an expense in the income statement (unless it relates to a revalued asset where the value changes are recognised directly in equity). Adjust depreciation for future periods

Cash-generating units The impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets of the unit (group of units) in the following order: Specifically impaired assets Goodwill Reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets of the unit (group of units) pro rata on the basis The carrying amount of an asset should not be reduced below the highest of: Its fair value less costs to sell (if determinable); Its value in use (if determinable); Zero

Reversal of an impairment loss The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated historical cost would have been if the impairment had never been recorded. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement. Adjust depreciation for future periods Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited

5. IAS 40 investment property Investment property is property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Initial measurement Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.

Measurement subsequent to initial recognition IAS 40 permits enterprises to choose between: A fair value model A cost model

IAS 40 notes that this highly unlikely for a change from a fair value model to a cost model. Fair value model Investment property is remeasured at fair value at each year end with gains or losses are taken to I/S. 6. IFRS 5 non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operation Held-for-sale classification. In general, the following conditions must be net for an asset (disposal group) to be classified as held for sale: Management is committed to a plan to sell The asset is available for immediate sale An active program to locate a buyer is initiated The sale is highly probable, within 12 months of classification as held for sale (subject to limited expectations) The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a sales price reasonable in relation to its fair value Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn A decision made after the year-end but before the accounts are approved that a non-current asset or disposal group is held for sale is a non-adjusting event. Measurement Non-current assets or disposal groups that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assts should be presented as a current asset in the balance sheet. Non-depreciation. Non-current assets or disposal groups that are classified as held for sale shall not be depreciated.

Key provisions of IFRS 5 relating to discontinued operations: Classification as discontinuing. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and: Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale

Income statement presentation The sum of the post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation and The post-tax gain or loss on the disposal of the assets (or disposal group) Detailed disclosure of revenue, expenses, pre-tax profit or loss, and related income taxed is required either in the notes or on the face of the income statement in a section distinct from continuing operations. No retroactive classification. IFRS 5 prohibits the retroactive classification as a discontinued operation, when the discontinued criteria are met after the balance sheet date. 7. IAS 38 intangible assets Recognition meet definition Purchased separately License Quota Franchise

Should be measured at cost Purchased as part of business combination Goodwill=consolidation fair value of net assets at date of acquisition other identifiable assets and liabilities separately account for (see group account)

Internally generated intangibles Internally generated goodwill no recognition Development of brands, mastheads, publishing titles and customer lists costs incurred on these items should be written off. Research and development Research income statements as an expense Development should be recognised if, and only if, an enterprise can demonstrate all of the following: The technical feasibility Its intention to complete and use or sell it Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset The intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset Measured reliably

Amortisation Finite useful life amortise over that life. Normally the straight-line method should be used with a zero residual value Indefinite useful life not be amortised, but tested for impairment annually

8. leases Classification of leases A leases is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incident to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Classification is subjective and is made at the inception of the lease. Whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form. Indicators may be: The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term

The lessee has the option to purchase the asset at nominal value The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset At the inception of the lease, PVMLP/FV > 90% The lease assets are of a specialised nature such that only the lessee can use them without major modifications being made The lessee has the ability to continue to lease for a secondary period at a rent that is substantially lower than market rent

In classifying a lease of land and buildings, land and buildings elements would normally be separately. The land element is normally classified as an operating lease unless title passes to the lessee at the end of the lease term. The building element is classified as an operating or finance lease by applying the classification criteria in IAS 17. Accounting by lessees The following principles should be applied in the financial statements of lessees: Finance lease Step 1 Capitalise using lower of PVMLP and fair value Dr Non current assets Cr Finance lease obligation Step 2 Depreciate over shorter of lease term and useful economic life Step 3 Calculate interest charges and outstanding liability Rentals in advance Period Yr 1 Yr 2 I/S depr b/f 1000 900 * 100 Interest 10% 100 90 rent (200) (200) c/f 900 790

Operating lease, the lease payments should be recognised as an expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the users benefit. Incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease should be recognised by the lessee as a reduction of the rental expense over the lease term, irrespective of the incentives nature or form, or the timing of payments. Accounting by lessors The following principles should be applied in the financial statements of lessors: Finance lease The lessor should record a finance lease in the balance sheet as a receivable, at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease, normally no sale is recognised The lessor should recognised finance income and If the lessor is a manufacturer or dealer, there is a sale should be recognised

Operating lease Should be presented in the balance sheet of the lessor according to the nature of the asset. Lease income should be recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis Incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease should be recognised by the lessor as a reduction of the rental income over the lease term, irrespective of the incentives nature or form, or the timing of payments. Initial direct costs Initial direct costs are costs that are directly attributable to negotiating and arranging a lease, for example, commissions, legal fees and premiums. Both lessees and lessors may incur these costs.

Finance lease

Costs incurred by lessee Costs incurred by lessor Add to amount recognised as Include in initial measurement an asset; depreciate over of receivable; reduce income assets useful life receivable over lease term Treat as part of lease rentals, Add to carrying amount of expense over lease term on leased asset; expense over straight line basis lease term on same basis as lease income

Operating lease

Sale and leaseback transactions For a sale and leaseback transaction that result in a finance lease, the asset is recognised as a non-current asset before and after the sale, so no sale can have taken place. it is treated as a secured loan under framework. So : Continue to recognise the original asset at its original cost (less depreciation) Credit the proceeds of the sale to a finance lease liability account.

However, under IAS 17, this can be recognised as a sale with gain deferred over lease term and loss recognised in I/S, and then a finance lease. For a transaction that results in an operating lease treat as a sale NBV= 1000 Selling =FV <FV price <FV FV = 1500 Recognise gain of 500 Recognise gain of 200 Loss of 100 is amortised over lease term to increase future lease expense if the rent is lower than market price. >FV 1700 Otherwise, recognise 100 loss immediately in IS Recognise 500 gain in IS immediately excess above FV of 200 is amortised over lease term to decrease future lease expense If the fair value at the time of the transaction is less than the carrying amount a loss equal to the difference should be recognised immediately.

9. IAS 12 income taxes Temporary difference. A difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base. The tax base is the amount attributed to an asset or liability for tax purpose. Taxable temporary difference. A temporary difference that result in amounts that are tax deductible in the future when the carrying amount of the asset if recovered or the liability is settled. ( carrying value > tax base) Deductible temporary difference. A temporary difference that will result in amounts that are tax deductible in the future when the carrying amount of the asset is recovered or the liability is settled. ( carrying value < tax base) Permanent difference. Expense in the income statements are not allowable expenditure for tax purposes, so the increase in tax charge has to be accepted. Such as fines and penalty, entertainment to customers. Recognition of deferred tax The general principle in IAS 12 is that deferred tax liabilities should be recognised for all taxable temporary differences unless the deferred tax liability arises from goodwill for which amortizations not tax deductible A deferred tax asset should be recognised for all deductible temporary differences unless exceptions above also apply The carrying amount of deferred tax assets/liabilities should be reviewed at each balance sheet date with difference to FS Deferred tax should be provided for on revaluation in equity because revaluation is accounted in equity Temporary differences may arise on a business combination because carrying value will be increased/decreased to fair value and tax base remains same Full provision rather than nil or partial provision is made for deferred tax Deferred tax assets and liabilities should not be discounted

IAS 12 allows a deferred tax asset to be recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profits to enable the loss relief to be used.

Impairment The impairment requirements apply to the following financial assets: Loans and receivables Held-to-maturity investments Available-for-sale financial assets Investments in unquoted equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliable measured.

The only category of financial asset that is not subject to testing for impairment is financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. Since any decline in value for such assets is recognised immediately in profit and loss. For loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity investments, impaired assets are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted using the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. 14. IAS 18 revenue recognition Recognition of revenue when selling goods

The seller has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership The seller retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold The amount of revenue can be measured reliably It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the seller The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Recognition of revenue when rendering of service The amount of revenue can be measured reliably It is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the seller The stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably The costs incurred, or to be incurred, in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

Recognition of revenue for interest, royalties, and dividends Interest on a time proportion basis Royalties on an accruals basis with the substance of the relevant agreement Dividends when the shareholders right to receive payment is established.
