Dear Mike,
Supose there is group consisting of only parent A and subsidiary B. Parent A controls sub B and prepares consolidated financial statements for years. However during the year (say 2016) parent decides to sell sub B. Parent has a plan to sell sub B and is actively marketing sale of sub B therefore according to IFRS 5 sub B meets criteria of discontinued operation. As I understand, under IFRS 5 parent has to disclose in its separate financial statements the sum of post tax profit or loss of discontinued operation and net cash flows relating to discontinued operation. However I do not understand does that mean that there is no need to prepare consolidated financial statements (does discontinued operation mean that effectivly parent lost control of sub B)?
Thank you.
Petar
Hi,
We would still be preparing the group accounts this year but given the subsidiary is going to be sold within 12 months then they will be the last set of group accounts if there is only the one subsidiary.
Thanks
