There is apparently an accounting change coming in next year affecting the way financial services (and possibly other) companies account for minority interests. I understand this may require companies to treat a minority investment as a trading/available for sale investment rather than an equity investment at present. Has anyone heard of this? I’ve tried to verify this with very little success.

Hello,
I would be grateful for your advice on the following situation:
Company P buys 100% of company A and recognises goodwill in its consolidated financial statements. 3 months later the two companies merge and in the next period’s financial statements the goodwill is no longer separately presented, but presented in the notes as part of the investment property and is called “value of rentals” (company A owned a shopping mall). My question is: What happens to goodwill when a parent and subsidiary merge and which IFRS/IAS would you advise me to …

If the subsidiary was established prior to the parent company, what are the possible complications? I.e. because the Holdings require higher initial capital the management decided that once the subsidiary generates revenue. the revenue can be use to fund the share capital of the parent.
On the establishment of the subsidiary the shareholders put more money over the share capital. can i transfer the excess of shareholders capital in the subsidiary to the parent company? what would be my entry?Please help.

When we pay the 100 EUR from a EUR bank account 14 days later USD rate is 1,4. In Local currency we have no realized exchange differences nor revaluation differences. In the reporting currency however we are facing a difference of 10 USD. I tend to …

further,what rate, ie buying or selling rate of exchange, should be applied
thank you

1. Does IFRS require consolidated accounts to be reported for subsidiary companies pursuing dissimilar activities?
2. Do companies within the EU have to use IFRS as a standard? Are other standards allowed?
3. It is common practice, according to a publication, that consolidated accounts are prepared from the point of view of the parent company, thus, separating the fair values of minority interests. Is this practice being worked upon by IASB?
If possible, please quote the relevant standard and the location of the source copy.

CONSOLIDATION, GENERAL INFO »
Does IAS require consolidated accounts reported for subsidiary companies pursuing dissimilar activities (than those of the parent company)?
Can you quote the relevant IASs? Where can I find copies and guidelines of the IASs for reading?
Do EU companies have to follow IAS since 2005? What other standards (e.g. IFRS) are acceptable? In which legislations?
