    Never been asked that before – just like your other post! Applying common sense, you would not only adjust the parent’s figure for Investment in Subsidiary, you would also need to treat the additional consideration paid on the outome of the contingency as an adjustment to an accounting estimate and accordingly adjust the goodwill.

    Mr. Mike i recall from my F7 studies that GW is adjusted when conditions come to be known which existed before the Gw measurement and subsequent changes are accounted as per the standard Changes in Accounting estimates.Please can you remember any question which could show me the calculation of this.
