Episode Synopsis
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is on the rise.

In this podcast, Andrea Schriber and Julia LaPointe look at the relevant IFRS Standards, including IFRS 3 Business Combinations, and address the key points that companies should consider in accounting for any acquisition.
