Financial consolidation

General

Combining the financial statements of a parent company and its subsidiaries into one set of group accounts. Consolidation translates each entity's figures into the group currency, eliminates intercompany balances and transactions, and accounts for minority interests, so the group is reported as a single economic unit.
