Subtopics

ASC 805, Business Combinations, consists of six subtopics:

  • ASC 805-10, Overall, which provides guidance on transactions accounted for under the acquisition method
  • ASC 852-20, Identifiable Assets and Liabilities, and Any Noncontrolling Interest, deals with specific aspects of the acquisition method
  • ASC 805-30, Goodwill or Gain from Bargain Purchase, Including Consideration Transferred, like ASC 805-20, 805-30 deals with specific aspects of the acquisition method
  • ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions, provides guidance on business combinations that are reverse acquisitions
  • ASC 805-50, Related Issue, which offers guidance two items that are similar, but not the same, as a business combination: acquisition of assets and transactions between entities under common control
  • ASC 805-740, Income Taxes, which provides “incremental guidance” on business combinations and on acquisitions by a not-for-profit entity.
