How should I account for mergers and acquisitions on the BE-185?

 

  1. If your company was acquired by a U.S. company, please complete pages one and two of the survey and in response to question number 8 include information on the U.S. company that will now report the information required by the BE-185 survey.
  2. If your company was purchased by a foreign company, complete the survey as it pertains to you and go to www.bea.gov/surveys/fdiusurv for information on foreign direct investment survey requirements.
  3. If your company purchased another U.S. company, your BE-185 survey should consolidate their financial services transactions for the entire reporting period.
