What is Parent company?

An entity that controls one or more entities (subsidiaries) and prepares the group financial statements.

The parent prepares the group's consolidated financial statements and may present its subsidiaries in its separate statements at cost, under TFRS 9 or using the equity method. The concept of a controlling company in the Turkish Commercial Code describes a similar relationship.
