Subsidiary Versus Branch:Each Has Its Advantages
Legal considerations--limited [subsidiary] versus unlimited [branch] liability.
Tax considerations--Pay IRS when earnings occur [branch] vs. when dividends are paid [subsidiary].

Consolidation: The Concept
A “pro forma ” presentation--it means “as if ” the parent and subsidiary were a SINGLE legal entity with one or more branches.
It is a LEGAL FICTIONAL PRESENTATION (an accounting mirage).
Slide 1-6

Consolidation: The Concept
Remember--the parent has the POWER to liquidate the subsidiary into a branch (thus shattering the subsidiary’s “protective shell”).
The result: A SINGLE legal entity.
