Documentation

Definition

Use

The system provides the following two variants for the calculation of minority interest for acquisitions (that is, first consolidation, step acquisition, and increase in indirect share):

  • Calculate acquisitions with direct shares:
    • The minority share in capital stock changes in accordance with the increase in the direct share of the upper unit in the investee unit.
    • The system does not record the minority share in the investment.
    • Amortization of goodwill calculates the minority shares according to the group shares of the parent units.
  • Calculate acquisitions with group shares:
    • The minority share in capital stock changes in accordance with the increase in the group share in the investee unit.
    • The system records the minority share in the investment.
    • Amortization of goodwill does not calculate minority shares.

The variants differ only when multilevel investments exist. Subsequent consolidation always calculates the minority shares in capital stock according to the group shares in the investee unit, regardless of which variant is chosen.
