I am confused in contingent consideration & IFRS3.KINDLY explain it in detail.
December 5, 2010 at 9:53 pm #72585Depends on probability – gteater than 50%, calculate probable amount and include it. Only possible, exclude – and amend calculations when probability resolved
September 3, 2015 at 9:47 pm #269749Mike is this treatment (from 2010) still valid?
If the deemed probable consideration turns out to be different is goodwill recalculated?
September 3, 2015 at 10:01 pm #269751Whooah! I hadn’t spotted that this was so old even though you actually spelled it out for me :-(((
Contingent consideration IS included as a liability in the calculation of goodwill as at date of acquisition.
If / when the contingency becomes more clear / probable and there is a better idea of the value of the liability (if any) there is no recalculation of the goodwill. Any adjustment goes through statement of profit or loss
OK?
