Publication date: 28 Feb 2023
us Carve-out financial statements guide
When the carve-out business is a separate legal entity, the statement of changes in equity will reflect the historical equity structure of the legal entity. However, when the carve-out business is not a separate legal entity, the statement of changes in equity in carve-out financial statements may be limited to presenting changes in the parent’s net investment, accumulated other comprehensive income, and noncontrolling interests (if applicable).
Example CO 6-1 provides an equity presentation in a carve-out entity’s statement of stockholders’ equity.
