Context
Norvane Group SA (fictitious entity) closes its consolidated accounts on 31 December 20X6. The preparer builds the file of the disclosures on interests in other entities, submitted to a review check: Tolmer and Hanel (judgments), Belmont (non-controlling interests), Arvel and Nolet (associates) and unconsolidated structured entities. Teaching simulation: the review trail of the file (preparation, reviewer notes and final sign-off) is simulated for demonstration purposes; it is neither a real review nor a validation of the content.
Assignment
Arvel, Nolet and structured entities
Purpose of the workpaper
For each material joint venture or associate, list the summarised information, the share of net assets, goodwill and adjustments, and reconcile them to the carrying amount; list the unrecognised share of losses and the commitments; take an inventory of the unconsolidated structured entities. Summarised information is individual, never aggregated. Percentages and amounts are case data.
Questions of the file covered by this workpaper
- Arvel: compute the share of the summarised net assets.
- Arvel: reconcile the summarised information to the carrying amount of the interest.
