Variable Interest Entities – FIN 46R
Although most VIE’s were established for legitimate business purposes, abuses occurred, particularly in avoiding consolidated disclosure
FIN 46R, issued in December 2003, was designed to ensure appropriate accounting for these entities
FIN 46R provides a broader concept of control for purposes of producing consolidated financial statements

Variable Interest Entities – FIN 46R
Controlling financial interest on the part of a “primary beneficiary” is deemed to exist when the following characteristics are present: The direct or indirect ability to make
decisions about the entity’s activities The obligation to absorb any expected
losses of the entity The right to receive any expected residual
returns of the entity(When these are present, consolidated
financial statements must be produced!)

Variable Interest Entities
Technically, the equity investors control the VIE.
However, often the equity investors
cede control to the variable interest
parties in exchange for a
guaranteed return.

VIE, an IMPLIED VALUE should be used to substitute for the
acquisition cost.

Summary
Variable Interest Entities are created to fulfill special purposes. Often, control of these entities resides in contractual arrangements rather than voting rights. FIN 46R requires consolidation when a business has a controlling financial interest in a VIE.
When one member of a combination acquires the debt of another, the debt is effectively retired
Preferred stock of a subsidiary will often resemble debt more than equity. If it is viewed thus, parent held shares are eliminated from the consolidated worksheets as if the stock had been retired.

Slide 6-51
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Possible Criticisms
There are at least four theoretical approaches to assigning the gains or losses created by early retirement of subsidiary debt: One approach is to assume that only the debtor is
affected by the retirement A second approach is to assign it to the investor A third approach is to split the assignment Finally, a fourth approach says to assign it entirely
to the parent
