Preparation of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

• Consolidation is the process of adjusting and combining financial information from the individual financial statements of a parent undertaking and its subsidiary undertakings to prepare consolidated financial statements that present financial information for the group as a single economic entity.

• the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position reflects the assets and liabilities within the control of the parent entity, and how they are owned.

• defined by IAS 27 Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investments in Subsidiaries, consolidated financial statements are “the financial statements of a group presented as those of a single entity”.

    Dear professor

    Hello sir

    It might be silly that i ask u again.

    Is it really allowed to write down just SOFP rather than The consolidated state of Financial position and just write “Sh” instead of Share Capital in the real test?

    Because one of my previous professors said if u just write the consolidated statement of Financial position, u could still get one mark as u told us about your elder professor haha.

    Just to be sure, i ask u again
    At any rate, your intonation and the way of teaching is the best since I’ve learnt accounting

    Thank u

    Regard
    Han

      Han, Sh instead of Share Capital? I personally would write Sh Cap! But Sh should be enough

      As for “Can just write $30 rather than .$3000 ?” again I would be inclined to write $3 rather than .$3000

      Abbreviate all you want – there are NO marks for presentation – just make sure that your abbreviations are at least half-way to understandability!

      OK?

    @OpenTution Just a recommendation.
    you should allow users to view the videos at a faster or slower playback speed as per their speed of understanding.
    Thanks! 🙂

    Please sir, why is Retain Earning at acquisition usually refer to as pre acquisition, when calculating consolidated retain earning?

    Log in to Reply
    • MikeLittle says

      July 17, 2015 at 10:49 pm

      Because the reserves as at date of acquisition were all achieved before (or “pre”) acquisition

      Is that ok?

    I cannot watch the video lecture here in China..Probably because they are blocked by the Great Fire Wall. So sad

    Are those videos from YouTube? If they are, all the blockage makes sense.

    Really miss those days when I spend months with OT..

      There really isn’t any difference except in the value attributable to the nci

      If they’re valued on a proportional basis, they are valued as their percentage share of the fair valued net assets.

      If they’re valued on a full fair value basis then the course notes – free on this sit – clearly illustrate the three differe nt ways in which the examiner can give you information to arrive at the nci value

      Ok
