| 单词 | acquisition accounting |
| 释义 | acquisition accounting The accounting procedures followed when one company is taken over by another. The fair value of the purchase consideration should, for the purpose of consolidated financial statements, be allocated between the underlying net tangible and intangible assets, other than goodwill, on the basis of the fair value to the acquiring company. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration and the aggregate of the fair values of the separable net assets (including identifiable intangibles, such as patents, licences, and trademarks) will represent goodwill. The results of the acquired company should be brought into the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition only. In certain circumstances merger accounting may be used when accounting for a business combination. Acquisition accounting differs from merger accounting in that shares issued as purchase consideration are valued at their market price, not par value (see share premium account), a goodwill figure may arise on consolidation, and pre-acquisition profits are not distributable. Merger accounting treats both parties as if they had always been combined, and values the purchase consideration at par. Acquisition accounting and merger accounting are covered by Financial Reporting Standard 6, 'Acquisitions and Mergers', and Financial Reporting Standard 7, 'Fair Values in Acquisition Accounting'. |
