Goodwill

Mmansoor10y ago
when fair value is used to value NCI, the goodwill shown in the csofp also contains a figure for goodwill that is attributable to nci. my question: why dont we deduct the gw attributable to nci? but i guess that wd just be a presentation issue right? GW Acquirer ..... X GW NCi ............ X ------------------------- ..........................X if the proportionate method is used to value NCI, there is no gw attributable to NCI. correct?

"if the proportionate method is used to value NCI, there is no gw attributable to NCI. correct?" Correct And if you're thinking of showing nci-attributable goodwill separately, why not also show the nci-TNCA attributable separately and how much of the Receivables figure is attributable to the nci In fact, you could have an entire nci-attributable statement of financial position if you wanted! Point taken?
