In the UK variant of the P2 paper can the examiner ask that goodwill be calculated by either method or just the proportionate method?
Ooooh, I really don’t know! Is there no clue given in the UK syllabus – available on the ACCA website? I imagine that Graham Holt will ask fair value method in preference to proportionate method if he is allowed to. But the syllabus will give you an idea.
I understood from the text that only the proportionate method was relevent to the UK syllabus yet both ways were asked for in exam, I think!!
Hi – I still don’t know the definitive answer to your question but I’ve just checked the syllabus for both the International stream and the UK stream and the bit of the syllabus which refers to goodwill in the context of group accounting says exactly the same in both syllabi.
