Abstract

When accounting for a business combination according to IFRS 3, an acquirer often encounters considerable challenges. Fair values, which are the applicable measurement basis in the context of IFRS 3, are caught in a trade-off between relevance and faithful representation, and an acquirer is required to assess the reliability of his acquisition accounting. This article examines theoretically, as well as using an illustrative example, how an acquirer can check the accounting for a business combination for plausibility. An analysis of the internal rate of return (IRR) as well as of the weighted average rate of return on assets (WARA) is presented.
