During discussion with my fellow regarding Consolidation. I heard something which make me astonished. My fellow said ” DO YOU KNOW WHEN USING IFRS 3 the PRINCIPLES OF IAS 2 becomes INAPPLICABLE”.
Let me share with you what he was telling me.
Suppose two companies are consolidated. Parent has an at the cost of inventory of $10. Subsidiary has an inventory of $15. Due to obsolescence the inventory of Subsidiary has fallen to $12.
Now when consolidated a) what should be the value of inventory in consolidated accounts? b) where the loss from obsolescence of inventory has to be reflected in the consolidated accounts.
