The main purpose of the financial statements in the consolidated form is to lay down the financial performance as well as the financial position of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries. The second purpose of the consolidated financial statement is to disclose the results for the benefits of the stakeholders of the company in the manner that the group represents one single entity even though it has number of subsidiaries (Hove,2016).
Group, Parent and Subsidiary
The entity which controls the management and the functioning of the other entity is known as parent entity.
The entity which is controlled by the other entity is known as the subsidiary (AASB, 2011).
The group is the broad term and includes the parent entity and the number of subsidiaries in which the parent entity has the controlling power.
Number of Parents Group Can have
The group can have only one parent company which will be presenting the financial results of all the subsidiaries on which it exercises the control in accordance with the provisions of the Australian Accounting standard. If there is more than one parent in the group then the financial statements cannot be presented in the defined and consolidated manner. Thus, the group has only one parent company (IAS Website, 2016).
Necessity of Adjustments for intra group Transactions
Intra group transactions always occur between the subsidiary and the parent entity in the normal course of business. The adjustments relating to these transactions shall be done on the regular basis. It is because of the fact that there is the high possibility of having the transactions recorded in the books of accounts twice till the time it is knock off while preparing the financial statements (AASB 101; Accounting for Intra group Transactions, 2016).
Realization of Profit transfers within the Group
The profits are realized when the entity outside of the group is involved. It means when the inventory is sold to the other entity, which is not the part of the group, the profit will be realized.
