Sir,
What does it mean that associate suffers the impairment and not the subsidiary?
Although while calculating Goodwill of subsidiary we deduct impairment if any?Please clear this point.
Thank you
Hi,
I’m not too sure of the context of your two points, if you could please elaborate I’ll try and help out.
Thanks
Does subsidiary and associate both suffer goodwill impairment or it is just the associate that suffer goodwill?
Sir, In your lecture on Consolidated SPLOCI you mentioned that if the NCI is measured at fair value, impairment should be charged to the subsidiary in the consolidated P&L to give the NCI their share of the impairment.
Why is the full impairment charged to P&L not split between the parent and subsidiary with respect to their holdings ? From your example, the total goodwill of 6, should it not be split between the parent and sub and charged to the P&L accordingly ?

Yes, both the subsidiary goodwill and the investment in associate can be impaired.
Thanks

Hi,
If you put it in S’s column and the total S’s profits for the year, then when applying the NCI% you are automatically giving the NCI their share of the impairment.
Thanks
