I know how to perform consolidation for companies with a simple group structure, but Ive not learned how to perform consolidation for companies with a complex group structure. I prepared these draft consolidated financial statements based on what Ive learned about consolidation for a simple group structure. Raynald commented, as he handed to you the financial statements he had prepared. Raynald is an intern who had just joined the accounting department of Algo Company. You are his supervisor at Algo Company. A few days ago, you had assigned him to prepare the draft consolidated financial statements for the Algo group for the year ended 31 December 20x9. Could you let me know whether there are any errors in this set of draft consolidated financial statements and advise me on how I could correct the errors? asked Raynald. You have the following information about the Algo group: On 1 January 20x8, Algo Company paid $560,000 to acquire 80% of the ordinary shares of Bossa Company. On that date, the book value and fair value of Bossa Companys identifiable net assets were represented by share capital of $300,000 and retained profit of $300,000. On 1 January 20x6, Bossa Company had paid $410,000 to acquire 70% of the ordinary shares of Caro Company. On that date, the book value and fair value of Caro Companys identifiable net assets were represented by share capital of $200,000 and retained profit of $200,000. On 1 January 20x8, Caro Company had a share capital of $200,000 and retained profit of $350,000. During 20x9, Bossa Company sold inventory to Caro Company at cost plus 50%. The total intercompany sales for 20x9 was S$180,000. As at 31 December 20x9, the inventory had not been resold to external parties. All dividends were declared out of 20x9 profits, and had been duly paid and received. Algo Company, Bossa Company, and Caro Company adopt the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (SFRS(I)). All the relevant SFRS(I) that were issued by the Accounting Standards Council as at 1 January 2021 are assumed to have been effective on 1 January 20x6. All the companies present annual financial statements with 31 December financial year-ends. The group policy was to measure inventory using the first-in, first-out method and measure non-controlling interests at the acquisition date based on their proportionate share of the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiaries acquired. Ignore the deferred tax effects, if any, arising from consolidation. Assume that a direct shareholding interest of more than 50% gives rise to control, and a direct shareholding interest of 20% or more but less than 50% gives rise to significant influence. The individual statements of financial position as at 31 December 20x9, individual statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 20x9, and individual statements of changes in equity (partial) for the year ended 31 December 20x9 of Algo Company, Bossa Company, and Caro Company are provided here.
