Course Description

Course Description

The term business consolidation refers to the combination of different business units or companies into a single, larger organization. Business consolidation is a legal strategy that is often initiated to improve operational efficiency by reducing redundant personnel and processes.

The rules for business combinations and consolidations are complex. Accounting for any business combination transaction under ASC 805 can be complex; even for entities that have gained valuable experience by having grown their businesses through acquisitions.

This CPE text-based webinar on Accounting will explore some of the more complex issues that acquisitive entities are facing as they address the accounting and reporting for business combination transactions.

Each acquisition transaction has its own unique set of facts and circumstances, many of which can have a significant impact on how an entity should initially account for the transaction and apply the relevant accounting guidance in subsequent reporting periods. This can present unique challenges for preparer organizations and their accounting and tax department personnel that are responsible for accounting and reporting these activities in the entities’ financial statements.

This Accounting CPE course provides an in-depth overview of the accounting and reporting requirements with respect to business combinations as prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations.

Learning Objectives

  • To identify the definition of a business as it relates to a business combination transaction.
  • To analyze the acquisition method.
  • To list the steps involved in the acquisition method.
