Consolidated Business Combinations Report (Part of Consolidated Balance Sheet)

Return to Financial Consolidation Model Overview.

Business Combinations outlines the accounting when an acquirer obtains control of a business (e.g., an acquisition or merger). Such business combinations are accounted for using the 'acquisition method', which generally requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The Consolidated Business Combinations report shows the Business Combinations statements and Goodwill line items of one individual legal entity as submitted on a consolidated level.

Report Heading

The report heading updates dynamically as various reporting options are selected. Below it shows the Version, Month_YTD, Entity, and Currency dimensions. (Actual 2020-12_YTD, Total Group, In Euro ):

The logo can be changed in Administration; see Configuring Design Elements for more on report design.

You can select your base elements in the Comboboxes below the report heading:

The Version dimension separates actual figures from planning figures, see full article.
