25% B
30%
C
C is not a subsidiary of A. B is not controlled
by A and A therefore does not control the
30% interest that B has in C.
Hence only 25% of C is under the control of A
and C is not a subsidiary of A. A is not a
parent company and neither B nor C is a
subsidiary of A.
42 Separate financial
statements (IAS 27)
An entity may choose to account
for subsidiaries, jointly controlled
entities and associates either:
At cost OR
In accordance with IFRS 9
In their separate financial
statements.
The same method shall be used
for each category of investment
43 Disclosure of interest in
other entities
The objective of IFRS 12 is to
require the disclosure of
information that enables users of
the financial statements to evaluate:
The nature of, and risks associated
with, its interests in other entities
The effects of those interests on its
financial position, financial
performance and cash flows

53 Steps: At acquisition
Step 1: Combine the trial balance of the
parent and the subsidiary together; and
Step 2: Eliminate the parent’s
investment in each subsidiary and the
parent’s portion of equity of each
subsidiary. Raise goodwill if applicable
(Note: These eliminating journals are
known as proforma journal entries.
You will see more examples of proforma
journals being used in the consolidation
process later.)
54 Example 3.2 Page 37
Points to be noted:
The consolidated statement of
financial position is the same as in
example 3.1.
H Ltd’s equity is not altered as a
result of the acquisition.
The investment in S Ltd represents an
asset in the books of H Ltd. It
represents the value placed on the
underlying net assets of S Ltd.
55 Example 3.2 Page 38
Upon consolidation we need to process
“pro-forma” journal entries.
DR Share capital (SOFP) 120 000
DR Other reserves (SOFP) 25 000
DR Retained earnings 75 000
(SOFP)
CR Investment in S (SOFP) 300 000
DR Goodwill (SOFP) 80 000
Remember:
Goodwill is the difference
between the purchase price and
the fair value of net identifiable
assets acquired.

If a consolidated Statement of Financial

pro-forma journal entry would be:
DR Share Capital 400

CR Investment in S (SOFP) 400
And the consolidated statement 000
of
financial position would be as follows:

Carrying amounts of S’s net

assets do not equal the fair
values
Note: These adjustments to the
carrying amounts of identifiable assets
and liabilities are only for the purposes
of the consolidated financial statements
and they are not made in the books of
the subsidiary.
The CA becomes the COST to the
GROUP.
We will ignore the deferred tax
consequences on these adjustments for
2nd year.
