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 …

My company develops software for internal use (although it could also be sold to other similar companies). It almost always replaces the software we purchased at earlier time, so it generates visible economic benefits by reducing costs. Can we capitalize our internally developed software?

Para 4 of IAS 38 says “computer
software for a computer-controlled machine tool that cannot operate without
that specific software is an integral part of the related hardware and it is treated
as property, plant and equipment. The same applies to the operating system of a
computer.”
Its true for branded computers which come pre installed with windows. But If we buy a non branded computer (without opereating system, ofcourse) and purchase windows seperately. Should I recognize the windows under IAS 38 or include in hardware’s cost (treat it under IAS 16).
