Goodwill (IFRS 3)
Goodwill is recognised as the excess between:
- The aggregate of the consideration transferred, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and, in a
business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree
- The identifiable net assets acquired (including any deferred tax balances).
Note that the group balance sheet must eliminate all intergroup balances e.g.:
- Cost of investment in the parent account and capital in the subsidiary’s balance sheet.
- Debtors and creditors for intergroup sales and purchases and intergroup dividend receivable and
payable.
- Unrealized profit on stocks arising from intergroup purchases.
- Items in transit
Non-Controlling Interests
A parent presents non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position within
equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent
Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control
of the subsidiary are equity transactions.
Determine the effective date that each of the subsidiaries became an effective member of the
group. The surpluses existing on that date is called Pre-Acquisition Surplus.
To determine the post-acquisition for each subsidiary we deduct the adjusted pre-acquired on the
date of acquisition.
Goodwill is computed as the cost of investment plus fair value of NCI at acquisition less the fair
value of the net assets acquired on the date of acquisition.
Cost of investment represents the purchase consideration paid by the parent company to acquire
interests in the subsidiaries.
Fair value of net assets acquired consists of pre-acquisition capital and surpluses modified by fair
value adjustment.
It is the minority’s % on the equity shares of the subsidiary multiplied by the net assets of the
subsidiary at the balance date adjusted by any minority share in the cost of investment of a sub-
subsidiary.
If there is any preference shares issued by a subsidiary to people outside the group these will
become part of the minority interest.
