Context
Sorvane Group SA (fictitious entity) takes control of Tarvel Technologies SA in 20X6 by increasing its interest from 20 % to 70 %. The consolidation file must deal with the measurement exceptions (lease, reacquired right, replacement award, retirement plan, litigation, insurance contracts), the previous interest, the items outside the exchange, the goodwill, its allocation to cash-generating units, a reverse acquisition and the disclosures.
Assignment
Purchase price allocation of Tarvel, lease and allocation of goodwill
Purpose of the workpaper
List the consideration transferred, the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, the deferred tax on the fair value uplift, the non-controlling interest under both methods and the previously held interest; compute the goodwill or the excess to reassess, record the combination and allocate the goodwill to the cash-generating units. Fair values, rates, percentages and allocation keys are case data; the method chosen for the non-controlling interest is a choice of the acquirer, never imposed by the standard.
