		<description><![CDATA[Dear All,
My question is that, in a situation of  merger or business combination, where the structure is such that a new company A is formed to take over the businesses of B and C. 
The question is whether IFRS 3 Business Combinations is applicable in this case as practically the entire IFRS 3 is based on an Acquirer and an Acquiree which are not present in this structure.    
Thanks 
Zuhar

Can you please help me with the following queries. Thanks in advance!
1. Goodwill &#8211; On consolidation, is it possible to actually increase goodwill figures or can goodwill only be reduced/impaired?
2. IFRS 3 states that negative goodwill is to be credited to the income statement. So if we CR Income, what&#8217;s the other double entry?
Apologies if the questions are basic!
Thanks

		<description><![CDATA[Dear All,
The Company was incorporated in Oct 2007.Could you please give your
expert opinion on the treatment of preliminary expenses (Revenue
generation is not yet started) e.g. rent, salary, traveling etc.
incurred during Oct 2007- Aug 2008. Please reply in reference to IFRS.
Revenue is expected in Sept 2008.
In my view, preliminary expenses can be accumulated and amortized when
revenue is started due to matching concept.
BestRegards,

Preliminary expenses / startup costs, etc. cannot be deferred. They
have to be charged off to income statement in the year of actual
startup of operations.

I believe the answer lies in the issue of control. If the acquirer still does not have control, i.e. voting rights, directorship, active management, no consolidation should be done until Control is obtained. In the meantime, the Acquirer can book in the investments in subs as ...

Dear All,
one of our Client has purchased a 100 % interest in a Subsidiarywhich is loss Making&#8230;
 
He has passed the following entry in their own books
 
Goodwill DR                120,000
Investment CR                          20,000       (Equity of subsidiary)
Payable to subsidiary              100,000        (purchase price)
 
My question is can Investment AC be -VE at initiation. and as far as i remember the initial recognition of an asset should be at its cost.and my plea to the Client is that the entry should be
 
Investment DR 100,000
                 Payable           100,000
and goodwill be shown in Consolidated ACs.
 
Kindly comment&#8230;.and correct me if i am wrong.

Hey ya&#8217;ll,
 
I need some guidance with the following issue:
 
In August 2000, Company A bought Company B.
 
Company A hired an Advisor to help it in obtaining financial resources to buy Company B. The advisor fees will be paid by Company A with a 3% of the future dividends to be distributed by Company B. To me it seems that this fees are attributable to the business combination.
 
In November 2000, Company A &#8211; Company B and the Advisor signed off an arrangement which established that the advisory fees will be assumed by Company B.
 
So, I&#8217;m pretty much ...
