What is Subsidiary?

An entity controlled by another entity (the parent).

Control exists when power over the investee, exposure to variable returns and the ability to use that power to affect those returns are all present. Control is usually obtained through a majority of voting rights, but contractual arrangements can also create control.

Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements using full consolidation.
