What is Consolidation?

Combining the financial statements of a parent and the subsidiaries it controls as if they were a single economic entity.

On consolidation, intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated; non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are shown separately. TFRS 10 sets out the concept of control and TFRS 12 the disclosures.

Consolidated financial statements are also important when assessing the audit requirement criteria at group level.
