Identifying the acquirer in MFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’
21. April 2021Business combinations are infrequent transactions that are unique for each
occurrence. MFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ contains the requirements and
despite being fairly stable in the ten years since its been released, still provides challenges when accounting for these transactions in practice.
Our ‘Insights into MFRS 3’ series summarises the key areas of the Standard, highlighting aspects that are more difficult to interpret and revisiting the most relevant features that could impact your business.
The acquisition method set out in MFRS 3 is applied from the point of view of the acquirer – the entity that obtains control over an acquiree which meets the definition of a business. An acquirer must therefore be identified whenever there is a business combination.
This publication explains how to identify the acquirer. Read more to find out.
