contingent consideration

Depends on probability - gteater than 50%, calculate probable amount and include it. Only possible, exclude - and amend calculations when probability resolved

Mike is this treatment (from 2010) still valid? If the deemed probable consideration turns out to be different is goodwill recalculated?

Whooah! 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?
