CONSOLIDATION SUBSEQUENT
TO ACQUISITION
• More than a consolidated balance sheet,
however, is needed to provide a comprehensive
picture of the consolidated entity’s activities
following acquisition.
• The approach followed to prepare a complete
set of consolidated financial statements
subsequent to a business combination is quite
similar to that used to prepare a consolidated
balance sheet as of the date of combination.

CONSOLIDATION SUBSEQUENT TO
ACQUISITION— 100 PERCENT OWNERSHIP
PURCHASED AT BOOK VALUE
• Each of the consolidated financial statements is
prepared as if it is taken from a single set of
books that is being used to account for the
overall consolidated entity.
• As in the preparation of the consolidated
balance sheet, the consolidation process starts
with the data recorded on the books of the
individual consolidating companies.
