Impairment of Goodwill
• When NCI is measured at proportionate share, goodwill is attributed
only to the owners of the parent.
• When NCI is measured at fair value, goodwill is attributed to both the
owners of the parent and NCI.
• Step 1: Analysis of effects of intercompany transaction
• Step 2: Analysis of subsidiary’s net assets
• Step 3: Goodwill
• Step 4: Non-controlling interest in net assets
• Step 5: Consolidated retained earnings
• Step 6: Consolidated profit or loss
Intercompany Items In-Transit and
Restatements
a. Accruals and deferrals of income and expenses and corrections of
errors;
b. In-transit items – items arising from intercompany transactions that
were already recorded by one party but not yet by the other.
c. Hyperinflationary economy – the financial statements of a group
member that reports in a currency of a hyperinflationary economy
are restated first in accordance with PAS 29 before they are
consolidated.
d. Currency translations – the financial statements of a subsidiary
whose functional currency is different from group’s presentation
currency are translated first in accordance with PAS 21 before they
are consolidated.
Continuous Assessment
• An investor reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and
circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the
three elements of control.
Changes in Ownership Interest not Resulting
to Loss of Control
• If the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changes but does
not result to loss of control, the change is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
Loss of Control
• A parent can lose control of a subsidiary in much the same way it can
obtain control. That is, with or without a change in absolute or
relative ownership levels and with or without the investor being
involved in that event.
Derecognition of Other Comprehensive
Income
Type of OCI Accounting
a. Revaluation surplus Directly in equity
b. Actuarial gains or losses on defined benefit plans Directly in equity
c. Unrealized gains or losses on FVOCI investments Directly in equity
d. Translation gains or losses on foreign operations Profit or loss
e. Effective portion of cash flow hedges Profit or loss
Sale of Subsidiary to an Associate or Joint
Venture
• Former subsidiary becomes an associate or joint venture
If the parent retains an investment in the former subsidiary and
the former subsidiary is now an associate or a joint venture, the
parent recognizes the part of the gain or loss resulting from the
remeasurement at fair value of the investment retained in that
former subsidiary in its profit or loss only to the extent of the
unrelated investors’ interest in the new associate or joint venture.
• Former subsidiary becomes an associate or joint venture
If the parent retains an investment in the former subsidiary that is
now accounted for in accordance with PFRS 9, the part of the gain
or loss resulting from the remeasurement at fair value of the
investment retained in the former subsidiary is recognized in full in
the parent’s profit or loss.
Importance of Consolidation
1. Consolidated financial statements provide true and fair view of the
financial position and performance of the group.
2. It would be burdensome for users to gather together all the
individual financial statements of a parent and its many subsidiaries
in order to get an idea of the financial position and performance of
the group, so parent entities are required to prepare consolidated
financial statements.
3. Consolidated financial statements lessen the temptation of hiding
certain activities in the subsidiary’s or special purpose entity’s (SPE)
separate financial statements.
4. Consolidated financial statements eliminate the effects of
transactions with related entities making the consolidated financial
statements more useful than the aggregate of each of the group
members’ separate financial statements.
Theories of Consolidation
a. Proprietary theory – this theory focuses on the parent’s legal
interest in the subsidiary.
b. Parent company theory – this theory focuses on the parent’s ability
to control the subsidiary as a whole and not only up to the extent of
its legal interest in the subsidiary.
c. Entity theory – consolidated financial statements should be
prepared from the viewpoint of the group rather than of the
owners of the parent.
d. Hybrid theory – Incorporates the characteristics of both the parent
company theory and the entity theory.
Historical Background
• PAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures, the predecessor of PFRS 11 Joint
Arrangements, required the use of the proprietary theory in
accounting for investments in jointly controlled entities.
• PAS 22 Business Combinations, which became effective on January 1,
1985, supported the parent company theory.
• The original PFRS 3 Business Combinations and PAS 27 Consolidated
and Separate Financial Statements initially supported the hybrid
theory.
• However, on July 1, 2009, PFRS 3 and PAS 27 were revised.
• PFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and PFRS 12 Disclosure of
interests in other entities which became effective on January 1, 2013
also support the entity theory.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Entity
Theory
• The primary advantage of the entity theory over the other theories is
that the entity theory provides more relevant and representationally
faithful information to users.
• A disadvantage of the entity theory is that many critics believe that
measuring goodwill at fair value is unreliable and irrelevant.
Consolidated of a Reverse Acquisition
• The consolidated financial statements prepared after a reverse
acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent but
described in the notes as a continuation of the financial statements of
the legal subsidiary.
Non-Controlling Interest
• A non-controlling interest arises in a reverse acquisition when some
of the owners of the legal acquiree do not exchange their equity
interests for equity interests of the legal parent.
Special Purpose Entities
• A special purpose entity (SPE) is a legal entity created by a sponsor to
accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective for the sponsor.

Investment in Subsidiary Measured at Other
Than Cost
• The investment in subsidiary is initially measured equal to the value
assigned to the consideration transferred at the acquisition date and
subsequently measured either:
a. At cost;
b. In accordance with PFRS 9 Financial Instruments; or
c. Using the equity method.
Complex Group Structures
• A complex group structure arises when the parent obtains control
over another entity indirectly through its direct holdings over another
entity.
a. Vertical group – the parent’s subsidiary has its own subsidiary.
b. D-shaped group – the parent has a direct controlling interest in
at least one subsidiary, and in addition, both the parent and the
subsidiary together hold a controlling interest in another entity.
Identifying the Acquisition Date
• The acquisition date is the date the acquirer obtains control of the
acquiree. For a sub-subsidiary, it is the date the sub-subsidiary
becomes a member of the parent group.
Consolidation of a Vertical Group
• A parent entity is required to consolidate all entities it controls,
whether through direct or indirect holdings. Therefore, the parent
shall consolidate both the subsidiary and the sub-subsidiary. The
consolidation procedures for a vertical group differ from those of a
simple group only on the computations of goodwill and NCI.
Consolidation of a D-Shaped Group
• The consolidation procedures for a D-shaped group are similar to a
vertical group. However, in a D-shaped group, the parent holds both a
direct and an indirect interest in a sub-subsidiary.
Complex Group Structure with Associate
• Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method
which is often times referred to as one-line consolidation.
Push-Down Accounting
• Under push-down accounting, FVA are directly recorded in the
subsidiary’s books. Therefore, FVA are reflected in the subsidiary’s
individual financial statements.
Authoritative Status of Push-Down
Accounting
a. Requires push-down accounting if a subsidiary is substantially
wholly-owned;
b. Encourages push-down accounting if a parent’s ownership interest
is 80% to less than 95%; and
c. Prohibits push-down accounting if the parent’s ownership interest
is less than 80%.
Arguments on the Use Push-Down
Accounting
• Proponents’ view
Proponents of push-down accounting argue that a substantial
change in ownership creates a new basis of accounting for the
subsidiary’s assets and liabilities.
• Oppositions’ view
Those who oppose push-down accounting argue that a new basis
of accounting should not arise irrespective of the ownership
change in a subsidiary.
• When push-down accounting is used, the subsidiary:
a. Records the goodwill arising from the business combination;
b. Records the acquisition-date fair value adjustments to its
identifiable assets and liabilities;
c. Eliminates the pre-acquisition retained earnings; and
d. The balancing figure after performing (a) to (c) is recorded in the
push-down capital account.
Separate Financial
Statements
Chapter 8
Separate Financial Statements
a. Consolidated financial statements; or
b. The financial statements of an entity with an investment in
associate or joint venture that is accounted for using equity method
in accordance with PAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures.
Purchasing power means the goods and services that money can buy.
Scope
• PAS 29 shall be applied to the financial statements, including the
consolidated financial statements, of any entity whose functional
currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
Hyperinflation
• Hyperinflation refers to loss of purchasing power of money at such a
rate that comparison of amounts from transactions and other events
that have occurred at different times, even within the same
accounting period, is misleading.
Identifying Hyperinflation
• PAS 29 does not establish an absolute rate at which hyperinflation is
deemed to arise.
Indicators of Hyperinflation
• Hyperinflation is indicated by characteristics of the economic
environment of a country.
Core Principles
• The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the
currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on
a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, shall be stated
in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting
period.
Restatement of Financial Statements
• The financial statements of an entity operating in a hyperinflationary
economy, whether prepared based on the historical cost approach or
current cost approach should be restated using the constant peso
accounting.
a. Historical cost to Constant Peso; and
b. Current cost to Constant Peso
Historical cost pertains to the historical exchange price experienced
in an actual transaction.
Current cost is the cost that would be incurred at the present time.
Constant peso pertains to pesos that are restated to reflect changes
in purchasing power.
Historical cost to Constant Peso
• Statement of Financial Position
Only non-monetary items, statement of financial position
amounts not already expressed in terms of the measuring unit
current at the end of the reporting period, are restated when
using the constant peso accounting.
Monetary items are not restated because they are already
expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the end of the
reporting period.
Monetary items are money held and items to be received or paid in
fixed or determinable amount of money without reference to future
prices of specific goods or services.
Equity items such as share capital and share premium are non-
monetary items and thus restated.
Non-Monetary Items Carried At Cost
• Most non-monetary items are carried at cost or cost less
depreciation; hence they are expressed at amounts current at their
date of acquisition.
Non-Monetary Items Carried at Other Than
Cost
• As a general guide, only non-monetary measured at cost are restated.
Again, monetary items are not restated because they are already
expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the end of the
reporting period.
Non-Monetary Items Carried at NRV or Fair
Value
• Some non-monetary items are carried at amounts current at the end
of the reporting period, such as net realizable value (NRV) and fair
value, so they are not restated.
Revalued Non-Monetary Items
• Some non-monetary items are carried at amounts current at dates
other than that of acquisition or that of the statement of financial
position.
Impairment After Restatement
• The restated amount of a non-monetary item is reduced, in
accordance with appropriate PFRSs, when it exceeds its recoverable
amount.
Investment in Associate
• Prior to computing the share in the profit or loss and net assets of an
associate operating in a hyperinflationary economy, the associate’s
financial statements should be restated first under PAS 29.
Borrowing Costs
• The impact of inflation is usually recognized in borrowing costs. It is
not appropriate both to restate the capital expenditure financed by
borrowing and to capitalize that part of the borrowing costs that
compensates for the inflation during the same period.
Index-Linked Assets and Liabilities
• Assets and liabilities linked by agreement to changes in prices are
adjusted in accordance with the agreement in order to ascertain the
amount outstanding at the end of the reporting period.
Assets Acquired Through Issuance of
Noninterest-Bearing Liabilities
• An entity may acquire assets under an arrangement that permits it to
defer payment without incurring an explicit interest charge.
First Period Application of PAS 29
• At the beginning of the first period of application of PAS 29, the
components of owners’ equity, except retained earnings and any
revaluation surplus, are restated by applying a general price index
from the dates the components were contributed or otherwise arose.
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income
• PAS 29 requires that all items in the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income should be expressed in terms of the
measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period.
Formula for Restatement
• Restatement is performed by reference to a general price index. PAS
29 requires the use of a general price index that reflects changes in
general purchasing power. It is preferable that all entities that report
in the currency of the same economy use the same index.
