Chapter 1: IFRS 10 Control & Business Combinations

1.1 Definition of Control - IFRS 10

An investor controls an investee when it has: 1. Power over investee, 2. Exposure to variable returns, 3. Ability to use power to affect returns.

Power: Existing rights giving current ability to direct relevant activities. Voting rights >50% = presumption of control, but not conclusive.

Consolidation required when control exists, regardless of ownership %. Parent + subsidiaries = group.

1.2 Acquisition Method & Goodwill

Steps: 1. Identify acquirer, 2. Determine acquisition date, 3. Measure consideration transferred, 4. Recognize identifiable assets/liabilities at fair value, 5. Recognize goodwill or gain from bargain purchase.

Goodwill = Consideration transferred + Non-controlling interest + Fair value of previous equity - Net identifiable assets at fair value

If negative, recognize gain from bargain purchase in profit or loss.

Chapter 2: Consolidated Financial Statements - Worked Example

2.1 Basic Consolidation - 100% Subsidiary

Data: Parent P acquires 100% of Subsidiary S for $500,000 cash on Jan 1, 2026.

S Balance Sheet at Acquisition - Fair Values

Cash.......................... 50,000

Inventory..................... 80,000

PPE.......................... 320,000

Liabilities................... -70,000

Net Assets Fair Value....... 380,000

Goodwill Calculation: 500,000 - 380,000 = 120,000

Consolidation Entry at Acquisition:
Dr Cash 50,000, Dr Inventory 80,000, Dr PPE 320,000, Dr Goodwill 120,000
Cr Liabilities 70,000, Cr Investment in S 500,000

Consolidated Balance Sheet: Add P + S line by line, eliminate Investment in S against S equity. Goodwill shown as asset.

2.2 Elimination of Intercompany Transactions

Example: S sells inventory to P for $30,000. Cost to S $20,000. P still holds inventory at year-end.

Unrealized profit = 30,000 - 20,000 = 10,000. Must eliminate.

Consolidation adjustment:
Dr Sales Revenue 30,000, Cr Cost of Goods Sold 20,000, Cr Inventory 10,000

Eliminates intercompany sale and unrealized profit in ending inventory. Group profit only recognized when sold outside group.

Chapter 3: IFRS 16 Leases - ROU Asset & Liability

3.1 Lessee Accounting - Initial Recognition

IFRS 16: Lessees recognize right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases >12 months, unless low value.

Data: 5-year lease, annual payments $10,000 in arrears, incremental borrowing rate 6%. Initial direct costs $2,000.

PV of lease payments = 10,000 × PV annuity 5 years @ 6%

PV factor = 4.2124. PV = 42,124

ROU Asset = 42,124 + 2,000 = 44,124

Lease Liability = 42,124

Initial Entry:
Dr Right-of-Use Asset 44,124, Cr Lease Liability 42,124, Cr Cash 2,000

3.2 Subsequent Measurement - Year 1

Depreciation: ROU asset 44,124 / 5 years = 8,825 per year
Dr Depreciation Expense 8,825, Cr Accumulated Depreciation - ROU 8,825

Interest & Payment Year 1:

Beginning liability............. 42,124

Interest 6%..................... 2,527

Payment........................ -10,000

Ending liability................ 34,651

Entry:
Dr Interest Expense 2,527, Dr Lease Liability 7,473, Cr Cash 10,000

Chapter 4: Financial Statement Analysis - Ratio Calculations

4.1 Liquidity & Solvency Ratios - Worked Example

Data from Chushmulilo Ltd 2026:

Current Assets: Cash 42,000, A/R 35,000, Inventory 48,000, Prepaid 2,000. Total 127,000

Current Liabilities: A/P 22,000, Wages Payable 4,000. Total 26,000

Total Assets 262,000, Total Liabilities 76,000, Equity 186,000

Net Income 67,000, Interest Expense 6,000, Sales 520,000

Current Ratio = 127,000 / 26,000 = 4.88. Strong liquidity.

Quick Ratio = (127,000 - 48,000) / 26,000 = 3.04. Strong even without inventory.

Debt to Equity = 76,000 / 186,000 = 0.41. Low leverage.

Times Interest Earned = (67,000 + 6,000) / 6,000 = 12.17. Can cover interest 12x.

4.2 Profitability & Efficiency Ratios

Additional Data: COGS 310,000, Beginning Inventory 55,000, Ending Inventory 48,000, Beginning A/R 30,000, Ending A/R 35,000

Gross Profit Margin = (520,000 - 310,000) / 520,000 = 40.4%

Net Profit Margin = 67,000 / 520,000 = 12.9%

Return on Assets = 67,000 / [(231,000 + 262,000)/2] = 67,000 / 246,500 = 27.2%

Return on Equity = 67,000 / [(156,000 + 186,000)/2] = 67,000 / 171,000 = 39.2%

Inventory Turnover = 310,000 / [(55,000 + 48,000)/2] = 310,000 / 51,500 = 6.02 times

Days in Inventory = 365 / 6.02 = 60.6 days

Receivables Turnover = 520,000 / [(30,000 + 35,000)/2] = 520,000 / 32,500 = 16.0 times

Days Sales Outstanding = 365 / 16.0 = 22.8 days

Chapter 5: IESBA Code of Ethics for Accountants

5.1 Five Fundamental Principles

1. Integrity: Straightforward and honest in all professional relationships.

2. Objectivity: No bias, conflict of interest, or undue influence.

3. Professional Competence & Due Care: Maintain knowledge and skill, act diligently.

4. Confidentiality: Not disclose client information without authority.

5. Professional Behavior: Comply with laws, avoid discrediting profession.

Threats: Self-interest, self-review, advocacy, familiarity, intimidation. Apply safeguards.

FAQ

When is goodwill recognized?

Goodwill is recognized only in a business combination when consideration transferred exceeds fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Internally generated goodwill cannot be recognized under IFRS.

Why does IFRS 16 put leases on balance sheet?

IFRS 16 removes off-balance-sheet financing. Lessees control use of asset and have obligation to pay, meeting asset and liability definitions. Provides transparency on leverage.
