The report is based on a review of the annual IFRS financial statements of 56 EU-based issuers and analyses the consistency of how key requirements of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations are applied. Moreover, ESMA’s said report identifies areas where the usefulness and quality of the financial information could be improved.
