Individual Accounting Entries When Group Reorganises

Question: "Parent company A has a subsidiary and an associate company.

During the year a new parent company B was formed and acquired the shares of A with no change in control.

A's shareholdings in its subsidiary and associate have been transferred to B.

Merger accounting is to be applied for B's group accounts.

What are the accounting entries in A and B?"

Accounting For A Joint Venture Which Heads A Group With a Minority Interest

Question: "A group has a 50% joint venture (JV). The JV itself is a parent company and heads a small group. One of the JV's subsidiaries is not wholly owned though.

I am preparing the consolidated accounts for the top group and need to account for the JV.

I have attempted to prepare consolidated figures for the JV group, with the intention of bringing in 50% of these figures into the top group using gross equity accounting.

How should the minority interest in the JV sub-group be dealt with?"

Does The Payment Of Dividends Invalidate The Use Of Merger Accounting

Question: "We are preparing the first group accounts for a parent company and one subsidiary and were advised that merger accounting would be appropriate.

However, we have now identified that the subsidiary paid a dividend to the parent of £1.5m and the parent in turn paid out £1m as dividends to the director/ shareholders with the balance of £0.5m being taken out via the directors loan accounts, leaving overdrawn loan accounts in the parent.

1) Can I still use merger accounting with the exception that further related party transactions in respect of the above will require disclosure?
2) My understanding is that ordinarily the dividends would negate themselves but in this instance we end up with the £0.5m variation in dividends in the group accounts. How do I treat this?"

Consolidated Accounts With Short Term Minority Interest

Quesiton: "A parent company is preparing group accounts.

During the year the parent gifted 10% of the shares in a wholly owned subsidiary to a director of that company. There is an arrangement in place that the parent will buy back that 10% shareholding next year at its market value.

How should this be accounted for?"

Information To Be Disclosed In The First Group Accounts

Question: "Parent company A is preparing group accounts for the first time for the 18 months to 30 June 2012.

On 31 March 2011 it purchased company B. This company has prepared accounts for year ended 30 June 2011 and 2012.

In October 2011 B purchased two further subsidiaries who have also prepared accounts for year ended 30 June 2012.

1. How should A prepare group accounts?
2. What are the requirements for B?"
