Accounting Standard 14 provides guidance on accounting for amalgamations. It defines key terms like amalgamation, transferor company, transferee company, and consideration. It describes two methods of accounting for amalgamations - the purchase method, where assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value, and the pooling of interest method, where they are recorded at carrying value. The standard also covers types of amalgamations, how consideration is determined using techniques like fair value, and required disclosures.
