    Hi Mike,

    Is there a general rule regarding whether the gain/loss on re-measurement of investments to fair value should be reported in P/L or in SOCI?

    does this effected by applying partial goodwill or full goodwill presentation?

    No- the only general rule is to follow what Graham tells you. He will normally say ” ….. which has been classified as through profit and loss …” so take the movement through profit and loss!

    And I can’t see how partial / full goodwill could affect it

    There were two examples I came over regarding step acquisition.
    1) in the first – partial goodwill was applied and they posted gain from re-measurement to P/L
    2) in the second one with full goodwill application they posted gain to OCI.
    So, it came to my mind that maybe there is a rule or smth….

    then no…. ok! thanks!
