Simplified Group Consolidation

Prepare a consolidated income statement for a parent with two subsidiaries.

The Scenario

A holding company owns 100% of Subsidiary A and 80% of Subsidiary B. All three entities have submitted their individual income statements. The CFO needs a consolidated view that eliminates inter-company transactions.

The Brief

Prepare a simplified consolidated income statement. Identify and eliminate inter-company revenue (Subsidiary A sells to Parent), calculate minority interest for Subsidiary B, and present the group result.

Deliverables

  • Individual income statements for all 3 entities (invented but internally consistent)
  • A consolidation worksheet showing: line-by-line addition, inter-company eliminations, and minority interest
  • The final consolidated income statement with a note explaining the minority interest calculation

Submission Guidance

Inter-company transactions inflate group revenue if not eliminated. Subsidiary A selling R500K to Parent means group revenue is overstated by R500K. Show the elimination.
