Suppose if the parent’s reporting period is 1 jan 2011 to 31 dec 2011.
Its subsidiary’s reporting period is 1 april 2010 to 31 mar 2011.
Paremt company acquired sub. on 1 march 2011.
Parent company is required to prepare consolidates statements on 31 mar 2011.
It is allowed to include subsidiary’s accounts if the time gap is less than 3 months. Now how will the profits of subsidiary be calculated in this case , where time gap is of 9 months ?
Correction* Parent company is required to prepare consolidated statements on 31 december* not 31 march.
Hi,
You’d have to use the internal accounts of the subsidiary to work out the figures at the reporting date. Don’t worry though as you won’t be confronted with this situation in the exams.
Thanks
