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

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.
