Line 1: Line 1:
Merger accounting regards two or more parties as combining their interests on an equal footing.
A promise to pay money which is freely transferable without formality from one person to another.
The difference that arises on consolidation does not represent goodwill, but is instead added to (or deducted from) reserves.
 
Merger accounting is not allowed under the relevant international accounting standard IFRS 3 'Business combinations'.
 
Under UK domestic [[GAAP]] merger accounting is required - but under strictly limited circumstances - under FRS 6 'Acquisitions and Mergers'.


So a negotiable instrument can be transfered simply by endorsement or by delivery (depending what type of negotiable instrument it is).
