University Corporate Reporting Assignment: Tax and Consolidation

This document presents a comprehensive solution to an advanced corporate reporting assignment, meticulously addressing tax accounting and consolidation principles. The assignment is divided into two main questions. Question 1 delves into current tax liabilities, requiring the preparation of a current tax worksheet, analysis of temporary differences, and the calculation of tax expense with corresponding journal entries. Question 2 focuses on business combinations and the preparation of consolidated financial statements. It involves detailed journal entries for pre-acquisition, non-controlling interest (NCI) calculations, and adjustments for intercompany transactions, including sales of inventory, machinery, and loan transactions. The solution culminates in the preparation of a consolidated income statement and balance sheet, demonstrating a strong understanding of complex financial reporting concepts. Bibliographies of the resources used are also provided.
