The Accounting Requirements for Business Combinations have not been altered due to the amendments made to MFRS 3 Business Combinations; instead, MFRS 3’s reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting has been brought up to date.
In addition, the amendments make it clear that contingent assets should not be recognised at the acquisition date.
An entity shall apply those amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
Earlier application if at the same time or earlier an entity also applies all amendments made by Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in MFRS Standards issued in April 2018.
