Definition

Acquisitions (in first consolidation, step acquisition, increase in indirect investment) support two types of minority interest calculations:

  1. Calculation of acquisitions with direct shares

    Minority interest in equity changes according to the increase of the investor's direct share in the investee. Minority interest in the investment is NOT stated. When goodwill is amortized, the minority interest is calculated according to the group shares of the parent units.

  2. Calculation of acquisitions with group shares

    Minority interest in equity changes according to the increase of the group share of the investee. Minority interest in the investment IS stated. When goodwill is amortized, minority interest is NOT calculated.

These calculation variants differ only for investments over multiple levels. During subsequent consolidation, the minority interest in equity in both cases is calculated according to the group share of the investee unit.
