9.6 Consolidation Procedures
9.6.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 9.13 – 9.14

9.13 The consolidated financial statements present financial information about the group as a single economic entity. In preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity shall:

(a) combine the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses;

(b) eliminate the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary;

(c) measure and present non-controlling interest in the profit or loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the reporting period separately from the interest of the owners of the parent; and

(d) measure and present non-controlling interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries separately from the parent shareholders’ equity in them. Non-controlling interest in the net assets consists of:

(i) the amount of the non-controlling interest’s share in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised and measured in accordance with Section 19 Business Combinations and Goodwill at the date of the original combination; and

(ii) the non-controlling interest’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.

9.14 The proportions of profit or loss and changes in equity allocated to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interest are determined on the basis of existing ownership interests and do not reflect the possible exercise or conversion of options or convertible instruments.

9.6.2 OmniPro comment – The Subsidiary

Section 9.13 of FRS 102 provides guidelines when preparing consolidated Financial Statements. See simple consolidated checklist that can be used when preparing consolidated financial statements.

9.6.2.1 Process of consolidation
Example 5: Process of consolidation

Section 9 provides minimal guidance on the process of consolidation however the best method for groups to consolidate is to:

1) obtain the individual financial statements of each subsidiary and aggregate these in a spreadsheet etc. and then add together the profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow figures on a line by line basis. Ensure there are uniform year ends and if not that they are prepared at least 3 months before the present period end of the parent and adjust for intercompany and material transactions in the meantime. See 9.8.2. If the subsidiary period-end is not within 3 months, then up to date accounts must be prepared for the subsidiary. Section 9.16(a) FRS 102

2) then adjust individual figures in the individual subsidiary financial statements to uniform accounting policies.

3) then incorporate goodwill into the consolidation (eliminate the investments and the related share capital of the subsidiaries) and post the relevant journals for depreciation on fair value adjustments on acquisition including to fixed assets and amortisation of goodwill etc. in the consolidated financial statements etc. The journals required to recognise goodwill and derecognise the investment in the subsidiary in the parent company are:

CU CU
Dr Goodwill XXX
Cr Investment in Subsidiary in the Parent Company Financials XXX
Dr Ordinary Share Capital/Share Premium XXX
Dr Profit and Loss Reserves (i.e. profit and loss reserves in existence at date of acquisition) XXX
Cr Non-Controlling Interest (i.e. fair value of net assets of subsidiary at the date of acquisition * % owned at date of acquisition) XXX

The above journals assume there were positive reserves on acquisition. If not, the journal would be the opposite way around.

4) then eliminate intra-group transactions e.g. inter group sales and purchases, unrealised profits included in inventory and property, plant and equipment etc.

5) Measure and present the result attributable to the parent and those attributable to the non-controlling interests. Do the same for the balance sheet showing the allocation since the acquisition of the entity.


9.6.2.3 Allocation to non-controlling interests where options are exercisable

As per Section 9.14 of FRS 102 when assessing the net assets to be attributed to non-controlling interest, it is based on the percentage of shares held, any exercisable shares not exercised are ignored. See further details at 9.3.2.3
