This report provides an in-depth analysis of corporate takeover decision-making and its effects on consolidation accounting, focusing on the application of Australian Accounting Standards (AAS). The report examines two primary methods of corporate takeover: purchase/acquisition and acquiring significant influence, as defined by AASB 3 and AASB 128. It contrasts the consolidation and equity methods of accounting, detailing the treatment of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The study emphasizes the importance of eliminating intragroup transactions, as per AASB 127, and distinguishes between downstream and upstream transactions. The report further outlines required adjustments to ensure the accuracy of consolidated financial statements, including the alignment of accounting periods and the application of uniform accounting policies. It also discusses the accounting for non-controlling interests and the disclosure requirements under AASB 12, providing a comprehensive understanding of the key considerations in preparing consolidated financial statements in the context of corporate takeovers.
