6.11 Adoption of a New Accounting Standard
If the adoption of a new accounting standard includes a transition
adjustment that affects the equity of a subsidiary that the reporting entity controls
but does not wholly own, the reporting entity should consider how the transition
adjustment would affect the noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary. ASC 810-10-45-19
indicates that revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and OCI of a
subsidiary not wholly owned by the parent should be attributed to both the parent and
the noncontrolling interest holders. Therefore, it would be appropriate to attribute the
transition adjustment to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest holders since
the transition adjustment may have affected net income in the prior periods.
The reporting entity should also consider whether and, if so, how the
adoption of a new accounting standard affects AOCI.
