    Dear Sir,
    In working 2, for the group SOFP:

    When we calculate the share capital at acquisition and at year end, we just assume that at acquisition, the share capital was same as the year end figure. Why is this? Would it be possible that in certain questions the examiner will mention there was a change in the share capital?

    Thanks

    Also why is the subsidiary’s share capital not added with the parents share capital when we do line by line consolidation?
    Thanks

    There is unlikely to be a change in sub’s share capital

    You only consolidate parent’s share capital

    Can I recommend that you revisit our consolidation lectures in Financial Reporting

    It’s been sometime since I passed f7, hence I have doubts here and there. Hoping to clear them through the SBR lectures. Thank you for replying sir, highly appreciate it

    I would still take some time watching the first couple of FR consolidation lectures. As you work through, fair values are important but don’t spend time on unrealised profits.
