IFRS allows noncontrolling interests to be reported at the current market value of the shares held by the noncontrolling interests.
IFRS requires noncontrolling interests to be reported at fair value at the date of acquisition, adjusted for the accumulated noncontrolling interests' share of the subsidiary's net income and dividends since acquisition.
IFRS allows noncontrolling interests to be reported at 10% of the current fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets.
IFRS allows noncontrolling interests to be reported at 10% of the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition, adjusted for the accumulated noncontrolling interests' share of the subsidiary's net income and dividends since acquisition.
16. Topic: IFRS for noncontrolling interest
