Dear all,
I have a question in relation to acquisition accounting in accordance with
IFRS3. In this case a parent company A acquires all the shares in
subsidiary company B for (say) 50M. This cost price represents a goodwill
over the fair value of the assets and libailities assumed of 15M. Where
should I record the 15M goodwill? Is this in the subsidiary company B or
in parent company A?

Based on IAS21, p. 47, I would say in the sub.
All the best, Farah

Quik question for the group.
How would you record transfer pricing charges to a foreign subsidiary above the profit line in the P&L?  Specifically, if the TP charge is US$ 1.0MM – I understand the parent side would be an entry to a revenue account; however, the question is how to record it on the subsidiaries books (i) as a Cost of Sale or (ii) as a contra revenue?
I am treating it as revenue to the parent and COGS to the sub – looking for arguments that it should be treated …

Hi All
This is Muhammad Naveed
