Welcome to Financial Reporting – Module 5: Business Combinations & Group Accounting! In this episode, we move from single-entity reporting to the world of groups—how to identify a business combination and produce decision-useful consolidated financial statements.
We’ll unpack the acquisition method under IFRS 3: identifying the acquirer, measuring consideration (including contingent consideration), recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value, and determining goodwill (or a bargain purchase). We’ll also tackle the deferred tax effects of fair value step-ups and other temporary differences that arise on day one.
From there, we dig into control under IFRS 10—power, returns, and the link between them—and walk through tricky scenarios (potential voting rights, de facto control, structured entities). You’ll learn the mechanics of consolidation worksheets: pre- vs. post-acquisition reserves, non-controlling interests (measurement choices and subsequent movements), depreciation of fair-value uplifts, and eliminating intragroup balances, transactions, and unrealised profits.
Rounding out the module, we cover disclosures (IAS 1 and IFRS 12) for subsidiaries, associates, and joint arrangements, then switch gears to associates (IAS 28) using the equity method, and IFRS 11 distinctions between joint operations and joint ventures—what gets consolidated, what gets equity-accounted, and why it matters.
By the end, you’ll be able to analyze a transaction, decide whether it’s a business combination, apply the acquisition method, and prepare clear, compliant group financials—confidently navigating goodwill, NCI, deferred tax, and the equity method. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to Financial Reporting – Module 4: Income Taxes! In this episode, we tackle how income taxes flow through the financial statements—separating current tax (payable/refundable for the period) from deferred tax (the future tax effects of today’s temporary differences).
We’ll demystify the core ideas under IAS 12: tax bases, temporary vs. permanent differences, and when to recognize deferred tax assets (DTAs) and deferred tax liabilities (DTLs)—including the probable criterion for DTAs, the initial recognition exemption, and the special case of goodwill. You’ll see common sources of temporary differences (depreciation methods, provisions, revenue recognition, fair value changes, revaluations taken to OCI, and business combinations) and how to measure deferred tax using enacted/substantively enacted rates.
By the end, you’ll be able to analyze and explain the tax line with confidence, connecting policy choices and estimates to their impact on profit, equity, and cash flows. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to Financial Reporting – Module 3: Revenue from Contracts with Customers; Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets! In this episode, we turn our focus to recognition and measurement—how entities determine when, and how much, revenue and related obligations should be reported in the financial statements.
We’ll unpack the five-step model for revenue recognition under AASB 15/IFRS 15: identifying contracts with customers, pinpointing distinct performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating that price, and recognizing revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. You’ll see how principles like control transfer, variable consideration, and contract modifications play out in practice.
We’ll also dive into provisions and contingencies under AASB 137/IAS 37—clarifying when to recognize a present obligation, how to measure it reliably, and what disclosures are required. Along the way, we’ll differentiate between provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets, highlighting practical examples like warranties, onerous contracts, and litigation.
By the end, you’ll be able to apply the revenue recognition model confidently, assess provisions and contingencies with rigor, and present decision-useful information to financial statement users. Let’s get started.

Welcome to Financial Reporting – Module 2: Presentation of Financial Statements! In this episode, we move from “why” to “how,” focusing on how a complete set of financial statements is structured and presented so users can actually interpret the story the numbers tell.
We’ll break down the primary statements and what must appear in each: the Statement of Financial Position; the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (single or two-statement approach); the Statement of Changes in Equity; the Statement of Cash Flows; and the Notes. Along the way, we’ll unpack core presentation principles—fair presentation and IFRS compliance, going concern, accrual basis, materiality and aggregation, no offsetting (unless permitted), consistency, and comparative information.
You’ll learn the mechanics that matter in practice: current vs. non-current classification (and when a liquidity presentation makes sense), required line items and subtotals, how OCI differs from profit or loss (and when reclassification adjustments apply), what belongs in accounting policies, and how to disclose key judgments and estimation uncertainty. We’ll also flag common pitfalls—unusual items and non-GAAP/alternative performance measures, rounding and comparatives, and presentation considerations for discontinued operations and EPS.
By the end, you’ll be ready to assemble—and critically assess—a compliant, decision-useful set of financial statements. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to Financial Reporting – Module 1: The Role and Importance of Financial Reporting! In this kickoff episode, we set the foundation for the whole course by asking a simple question: What is financial reporting for—and why does it matter? We’ll explore how financial statements serve investors, lenders, and other stakeholders by providing decision-useful information, and how stewardship and accountability underpin that purpose.
We’ll walk through the financial reporting ecosystem—standard-setters, regulators, auditors, and management—and introduce the conceptual framework: qualitative characteristics (relevance, faithful representation, comparability, verifiability, timeliness, understandability), the elements of financial statements, and the constraints of materiality and cost–benefit. You’ll also hear about common limitations of financial reports (think historical cost, estimates, aggregation, and timeliness) and why notes and disclosures are critical to telling the full story.
By the end, you’ll see how reliable, transparent reporting supports efficient capital markets and sound governance—and where financial reporting sits alongside emerging topics like sustainability information. This episode lays the groundwork for everything that follows in the series. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to Ethics and Governance - Module 5: Corporate Accountability! Today, we're plunging into a critically important and rapidly evolving area: corporate accountability. This entire deep dive is dedicated to Module 5 of ethics and governance, exploring how the very idea of a corporation's responsibilities has dramatically expanded over time. It’s moved far beyond purely financial returns and shareholder wealth to encompass broader social and environmental impacts, acknowledging an implied social license to operate.
We’ll peel back the layers, looking closely at the inherent limitations of traditional financial reporting, which are fundamentally narrow and primarily geared towards capital providers, often missing crucial long-term social and environmental factors. We'll identify the powerful forces driving this paradigm shift, from evolving societal expectations and increasing stakeholder activism to new global sustainability reporting standards. Join us as we unpack the compelling reasons why organizations are engaging in this broader accountability, giving rise to concepts like Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Sustainability, and ESG reporting, and the pivotal role accountants play in shaping this new era of governance for a more sustainable future
This marks the final episode of the full walkthrough of the Ethics and Governance study guide!
