Unlike acquiring a business, there isn’t one single IFRS standard that covers selling a business. Instead, there are several standards that you’ll need to consider along the way, from when you first start thinking about selling a business right up until the cash is in the bank. In this podcast, Peter Carlson and Julia LaPointe look at the relevant IFRS Standards and consider the steps that companies should consider in accounting for the sale of a business. ‘IFRS®’, ‘IASB®’, ‘IFRIC®’, ‘IFRS for SMEs®’, ‘IAS®’ and ‘SIC®’ are registered Trade Marks of the IFRS Foundation and are used by KPMG IFRG Limited under licence subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.
