企业合并会计处理方法的探讨

企业合并是指两个或两个以上的企业通过一定方式,组成一个新的企业的行为。《国际会计准则》第22号中规定,企业合并根据合并的性质采用购买法或股权联合法进行会计处理。在美国的会计发展史上,购买法和股权联合法伴随着并购浪潮而产生,而且股权联合法一度成为选择的重点,但是美国财务会计准则委员会(FASB)则于1999年在修订的16号会计原则委员会意见书(APBopinion)中,正式取消了股权联合法。因此购买法在美国成为企业合并的唯一方法,随之我国也出现了购买法和股权联合法之争,争论的焦点在于我国是否采纳联合法。本文认为我国应根据两种方法的特点和我国的具体会计环境确定,而不能简单地模仿美国否定股权联合法。
