Study Notes
Consolidation: Intragroup Transactions
- Consolidated financial statements show the parent company and subsidiaries as a single entity.
- These statements exclude internal transactions, focusing on external dealings.
- Adjustments for intragroup transactions ensure consistency with the entity concept.
- This concept views the entire group as combined net assets of parent and subsidiaries.
- Internal transactions must be fully eliminated.
Examples of Intragroup Transactions Requiring Adjustments
- Services: Management fees between group entities in the current period.
- Dividends: Dividends received or payable between parent entities and subsidiaries.
- Loans: Outstanding loan balances between entities at period-end, including interest for the current period.
- Sales of Goods: Sales of goods between entities in the current period, including any interest or unrealized profits in ending inventories.
- Unrealized Profits: Unrealized profits in opening inventories from prior period sales.
- Receivables/Payables: Outstanding receivables and payables between entities during the current period.
- Non-current Asset Transfers: Gain or loss on transfer of non-current assets between entities, including excess or under-depreciation adjustments.

Assets and Deferred Tax
- A deferred tax asset occurs when future tax deductions exceed current asset worth, leading to tax savings later.
- Conversely, a deferred tax liability happens when current asset worth is less than future tax deductions, resulting in future tax obligations.
