Objective of the workpaper

List the intragroup transactions and balances, the policies and the closing date of the subsidiary, then compute the unrealised profit, the attribution of profit or loss to non-controlling interests (after cumulative preference dividends) and their balance. Margins, percentages and dividends are case data; the workpaper shows the full elimination of balances and of the unrealised profit and leaves the judgment on the harmonisations.

Consolidation procedures: harmonisation of policies and dates, intragroup eliminations, unrealised profit, attribution and deficit balance of non-controlling interests
Case tasks documented here
  • Dentra: how to deal with the three-month gap between its closing date and the group’s?
  • Dentra: what harmonisation of policies is needed on consolidation? Compute the loss retained for consolidation.
  • Compute the unrealised profit on the remaining inventory to eliminate.
  • Corvane: compute the profit attributable to ordinary shares after the cumulative preference dividends, declared or not.
  • Corvane: compute the third parties’ share of the profit of the ordinary shares, then their total share of profit with the preference shares.
  • Corvane: compute the closing balance of non-controlling interests.
  • Dentra: compute the share of the loss attributed to third parties on the current percentage.
  • Dentra: the loss attributed to third parties exceeds their opening balance. What happens to their balance and is the loss capped?
  • Record the entry eliminating the intragroup balance between Corvane and Tarvane.
  • Record the entry eliminating the unrealised profit in inventory.
  • Record the entry attributing Corvane’s profit to third parties.
  • Record the entry attributing Dentra’s loss to third parties.

  • Harmonisation of accounting policies

    JudgmentRequired

    No difference in policy for similar transactions

    Policy difference corrected by a consolidation adjustment / No difference in policy for similar transactions / Not applicable

  • Rationale: similar transactions, group policy, amount of the adjustment
