    Hi there,

    Should the net asset at acquisition amount used in the Goodwill calculation not be Book Value (BV), rather than FV? (page 103 of notes)

    Many thanks,

    Navid

    Hi,

    No, on consolidation we include the assets and liabilities at FV as this then reflects more accurately what has been paid to acquire the subsidiary.

    Thanks
