    Hi

    “With regard to changes in the fair value of any contingent consideration after the
    acquisition date, if the change is due to additional information obtained after the
    acquisition date that affects the facts or circumstances as they existed at the acquisition
    date this is treated as a ‘measurement period adjustment’ and the liability (and goodwill)
    are remeasured. However, what is more likely, is that changes will be due to events after
    the acquisition date and therefore any remeasurement of the provision for contingent
    consideration will be charged to profit or loss.”

    1. Could you please advise when why for a contingent consideration we don’t adjust the goodwill, we expense it to P&L

    Thanks

    I think of the consideration as an accounting estimate – we adjust the amount we will be paying as new facts emerge.

    Conceptually your argument is interesting – but:

    1. Don’t do it in the exam.
    2. Don’t bang on about in the exam.

    Mercifully this is now a practical rather than an academic exam.

    🙂
