Objective of the workpaper
Document the facts on the planned or likely settlement of each balance, compute the net investment difference, then, for a disposal, the non-controlling interests share (derecognised, not reclassified), the amount reclassified to profit or loss and, for a partial disposal, the proportionate share reattributed; justify the judgements, prepare the entries and their effect on the financial statements.

Judgements
JudgmentIAS 21 §15IAS 21 §48DIAS 21 §48C
Planned or likely settlement of the balance
JudgmentRequired
Settlement neither planned nor likely: net investment / Settlement planned or likely: outside the net investment
Professional judgement: intention and likelihood of settlement rest on documented facts (decisions, plans, history); no period or numerical threshold is imposed.
Rationale: facts relied on, analysis, alternative rejected

Scope of the partial disposal
JudgmentRequired
Reduction of the interest treated as a partial disposal
Reduction of the interest treated as a partial disposal / Transaction not treated as a partial disposal
