Canada Acquisition accounting_opening balance sheet question

[jbela2020]

if i'm buying 75% of a business with $250k in equity and $500k in debt, what's in 'Shareholder's Equity' on the balance sheet aside for the new equity of $250k? my question is specific to: how do i capture the 25% minority ownership on the balance sheet? Thanks

Would the 25% be recorded as a minority investment on the liabilities side of the B/S?

Hi

The minority interest is shown on the liability side of the bal sheet.

Kind regards

Hello
Could you help me in understanding how and why the minority stake is shown as a liability?

It's not a liability; it's in the equity section, according to IFRS 10:22. A minority stake is contributed capital, not borrowed funds, that gives the contributor an ownership interest.

So while consolidating, minority interest is part of the shareholders funds? It's shown under equity to represent the minority's share in the group?
