sir i am kind of addled at the prospect of seeing a “gain on derecognition on disposal of an equity instrument” in the consolidated SPL, where the parent entity through a step-acquisition increases its stake from 10% to 60% during the accounting period.
(this gain relates to FV remeasurement on shares held under FVPL model. )I mean why do we separately/additionally recognise it when preparing consolidated SPL? Would not it have been included in the individual financial statement of the parent entity already??
July 21, 2021 at 7:13 am #628962It is recognised INSTEAD of parent’s gain.
Remember that you won’t be preparing a whole consolidation.
July 21, 2021 at 9:07 am #628979sir can you pls elaborate? I apologise my cognitive faculties are too narrow to comprehend your answer
July 22, 2021 at 7:07 am #629068Parent will show investment at cost or FVOCI – if the latter, there will be gains. These gains will not be in group accounts.
We aren’t going to be asked to prepare a full consolidation so don’t worry about reconciling parent and group.
