Consolidation Basics

Simply stated, financial consolidation means regrouping financial data for a company's segments

and subsidiaries into a unified set of accounting records – as if these records were the financial

statements of a single company.

For example, if a U.S.-based multinational operates in 50 countries and has 20 subsidiaries in various parts

of the world, financial consolidation requires adding up financial data for all 20 subsidiaries and presenting a

single set of corporate financial statements.

Consolidation Basics

Financial statement consolidation serves three purposes:

1. They help regulators review all decisions that a company's top management makes and

ensures that these decisions comply with regulations and industry practices. For example, the

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may review the activities of a USA-based

company in Venezuela.

2. Second, it allows investors to gauge a firm's market share, competitive standing and business

performance.

3. Third, it helps a company's top leadership evaluate the economic health of the company and

identify nonperforming areas, countries or segments.
