    Study Notes

    Consolidation: Intragroup Transactions

    • Consolidated financial statements combine a parent company and its subsidiaries into a single entity. Internal transactions are excluded.
    • Adjustments for intragroup transactions ensure external transactions are the focus, aligning with the entity concept in consolidation.
    • Internal transactions are fully eliminated.

    Examples of Intragroup Transactions Requiring Adjustments

    • Services: Management fees between group entities in the current period.
    • Dividends: Received/payable by the parent company from a subsidiary.
    • Loans: Outstanding loan balances between entities, including interest, at the end of the current period.
    • Sales of Goods: Inter-entity sales in the current period, including any interest related to loans and unrealized profits in ending inventories.
    • Unrealized Profit: Profit from prior-period inter-entity sales in opening inventories.
    • Receivables and Payables: Outstanding balances between entities during the current period.
    • Non-current Assets: Gain/loss on transfer or excess/under-depreciation of non-current assets between entities, in either the current or prior period.
