Step 5: Measurement of NCI

A

Non-controlling interests (NCI) are measured…
- at FV (full GW method) (GW gain or bargain includes a portion attributatble to NCI)
- at the holder’s proportionate interest in the recognized amount of the identifiable ent assets of the acquiree (partial GW method) (GW recognized, gain or bargain, related only to the controlling interest acquired –> NCI and GW are lower)

Q

Step 7: Measurement period adjustments

A

The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the provisional amounts recognised for a business combination
- When new info obtained post acquisition date
- eds when the required info has been obtained or is no longer available
- Cannot be longer than 1 year post-acquisiton

If the acquisition accounting is not complete by the reporting date, disclose facts and provisional amounts, which are to be adjusted retrospectively. After the measurment period ends, the accounting for a business combiantion can only be revised to correct an error.
