IFRS NOTES LEC 112

BUSINESS COMBINATION
IFRS 3: Business Combinations
Measurement Challenges:

Key Considerations in Business Combinations:

Fair Value Measurement:

Fair value measurement is a fundamental aspect of IFRS 3, as it determines the initial


recognition and subsequent measurement of assets, liabilities, and consideration transferred.
Assets and liabilities are valued based on their fair values at the acquisition date, requiring
expertise in valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, market comparables,
and income approach models.
The use of professional valuers and appropriate documentation is essential to support fair value
estimates and comply with audit requirements.
Allocation of Purchase Price:

Allocating the purchase price to identifiable assets and liabilities is a critical step in the business
combination process.
This allocation impacts financial statements, as it determines the initial carrying amounts of
acquired assets and liabilities, including intangible assets such as customer relationships,
trademarks, and patents.
Proper allocation requires careful analysis of available information, including historical financial
data, market trends, and expert opinions.
Contingent Consideration and Earn-outs:

Contingent consideration, also known as earn-outs, refers to payments made by the acquirer to
the former owners of the acquired entity based on future performance metrics.
IFRS 3 requires contingent consideration to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date,
with subsequent changes impacting the income statement.
Valuing contingent consideration involves assessing the probability of achieving performance
targets and incorporating risk-adjusted discount rates.
Goodwill and Impairment Testing:

Goodwill represents the residual amount of consideration transferred over the fair value of net
identifiable assets acquired.
Under IFRS 3, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if
indicators of impairment exist.
Impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of a reporting unit (or
cash-generating unit) to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of
disposal and value in use.
