The fair value of the elements of the business combination transaction at the date of acquisition which is defined by the date on which the Company has acquired control over other
enterprise. Further this also results in recognition of the gain or loss on the existing carrying value of the investment in the acquired enterprise at the point of gaining control.
[Earlier An investment in a subsidiary is often acquired in stages – both in the lead-up to gaining control and after control has been obtained. The old approach to accounting for the acquisition of a subsidiary in stages was a
cost accumulation method]
acquisition-related costs such as costs for the services of lawyers, investment bankers, accountants, valuation experts, and other third parties are expensed in the period in which the
service are received . These costs are no more a part of the fair value exchange between the buyer and the seller for the acquired business.
[Earlier such costs are included in the cost of the combination, and are therefore included in the calculation of goodwill.
IND-AS 103 requires accounting for acquisition from the date when entity obtains control – considering the importance of High Court approval it is likely that control will be assessed to be
obtained only when High Court approves the scheme (date when High Court approval is obtained.) Hence, Net assets will be recorded at the fair value on the date when High Court
approval is obtained and results/profit or loss between appointed date and effective date will not be reflected in the acquirer’s financial statement.
[Earlier appointed date is considered as a date from which control is deemed to be obtained even though scheme becomes effective on approval of the High Court is much later than the appointed date. In such a scenario,
goodwill was determined based on values of assets and liabilities on the appointed date and all movements in values of assets and liabilities post appointed date was regarded as post acquisition transaction. ]
Goodwill is not allowed to be amortised, it is always tested for impairment.
[Earlier - Goodwill arising in amalgamation was required to be amortised whereas it was accounting policy choice in case of business acquisition or acquisition of subsidiary]
Further, in IND-AS, goodwill impairment testing is mandatory atleast once in a year irrespective of whether there are impairment indicators or not.
- Impact, it will save amortisation charge but at the same time it will expose entity to volatility on account of impairment hit
Further, in IND-AS, goodwill impairment testing is mandatory atleast once in a year irrespective of whether there are impairment indicators or not.
[Earlier - goodwill impairment testing was done only if there were impairment indicators]
