Advanced Consolidation Techniques in IFRS: Changes in Scope (IFRS 3, IFRS 10)

Study the effects on consolidated financial statements of business acquisitions (IFRS 3), changes in interests, and loss of control (IFRS 10) and restructuring

Duration : 5 days

This training provides a methodological framework for handling various scope change operations within a group. It covers the cases of gaining control, changes in minority interests during control, and loss of control. A section is also dedicated to equity-accounted entities and the consequences of internal restructuring operations (mergers, internal transfers of shares). You will learn how to determine the impacts of these operations on the consolidated balance sheet and how to control them by analyzing changes in equity. Emphasis will be on practice: numerous cases will allow you to apply the concepts developed. By the end of this training, you will be able to handle such operations within your group.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply IFRS 3 to business combinations when gaining control

  • Apply IFRS 10 to subsequent changes in interests after gaining control
