CR – May 2023 – L3 – Q4b – Events After the Reporting Period (IAS 10)

Advise on the correct accounting treatment and disclosures for Resource LTD’s sale.

At August 31, 2016, Evolve LTD controlled a wholly owned subsidiary, Resource LTD, whose only assets were land and buildings, measured in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

On August 1, 2016, Evolve LTD published a statement stating that a binding offer for the sale of Resource LTD had been made and accepted, and at that date, the sale was expected to be completed by August 31, 2016. The non-current assets of Resource LTD were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell at August 31, 2016, based on the selling price in the binding offer. This measurement was in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

However, Evolve LTD did not classify the non-current assets of Resource LTD as held for sale in the financial statements at August 31, 2016, because there were uncertainties regarding the negotiations with the buyer and a risk that the agreement would not be finalized. There was no disclosure of these uncertainties, and the original agreement was finalized on September 20, 2016.

Required:
Advise Evolve LTD on how the above transactions should be correctly dealt with in its financial statements with reference to relevant International Financial Reporting Standards. (10 Marks)
