KembaraXtra- Financial Terms- acquisition accounting refers to the accounting procedures followed when one company takes over another company. It is an important area of corporate financial reporting.
Under acquisition accounting, the fair value of the purchase consideration is allocated between the acquired company’s identifiable net tangible and intangible assets.
Assets such as patents, licences, trademarks, and other identifiable intangibles are valued separately from goodwill during the acquisition process.
Any difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. The acquired company’s results are included in consolidated accounts only from the acquisition date onward.
Acquisition accounting is governed by accounting standards such as Financial Reporting Standard 6, Financial Reporting Standard 7, and International Financial Reporting Standard 3, Business Combinations.
