In the case of complete disposal of a subsidiary, do we reclassify all the gains/losses held in OCI at the disposal date? if yes, then why are items meant not to be reclassified are reclassified? this is from the technical article of Acca: Reclassify to profit or loss any amounts (the entire amount, not a proportion) relating to the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities previously recognised in other comprehensive income, as if the assets and liabilities had been disposed of directly.
Ask the Tutor ACCA SBR
Disposal of sub
If you sell a subsidiary, then recognise profit in P&L, being proceeds minus CA of subsidiary. No other reclassification (unless you mean exchange differences).
Keep it simple. :)
