This research examined the basic concepts for asset valuation and income recognition by focusing on accounting for business combinations and restructurings. Revaluation of an entity's assets and recognition of unrealized gains and losses depend on a frame of reference for judging continuance/discontinuance of a business activity, that is, continuity of control or continuity of equity. Using these two concepts (control and equity), this research provided a systematic explanation of accounting for business combinations and restructurings.
