Group profile and file conventions

Brelvane Group SA (fictitious entity) closes its consolidated accounts on 31 December 20X6. File conventions: amounts in EUR; case convention (pedagogical assumption, not attributed to IFRS 10): non-controlling interests are measured at their share of identifiable net assets, with no goodwill; the sale of goods to Ardoval is a sale from the parent to its subsidiary, the elimination of unrealised profit being borne by the owners of the parent; the preference shares are classified in equity; goodwill and other comprehensive income are split pro rata to the interest changed; no tax; no transaction costs; the entries are illustrative. Control is a matter of judgement, with no threshold imposed by the standard.
