konsolideerimisega

Konsolideerimisega is a term used in economics and business to describe the process of combining multiple separate financial statements into a single, consolidated statement. This is typically done by a parent company to represent the financial position of itself and its subsidiaries as if they were a single economic entity. The purpose of consolidation is to provide a more accurate and comprehensive view of the overall financial health and performance of the group.

The process involves eliminating intercompany transactions and balances to avoid double-counting. For instance, if a parent company has loaned money to its subsidiary, that loan would be removed from the consolidated balance sheet. Similarly, any sales or purchases between the parent and subsidiary are also eliminated. The equity of the subsidiary is eliminated against the investment in the subsidiary. Non-controlling interests, which represent the portion of a subsidiary's equity not owned by the parent, are separately presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Consolideerimisega is crucial for investors, creditors, and other stakeholders as it offers a unified perspective on the group's assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses. It allows for a clearer understanding of the overall profitability, solvency, and liquidity of the entire organization. Different accounting standards, such as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), provide specific guidelines and rules for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The frequency of consolidation can vary, but it is commonly done on an annual basis, with interim consolidations also occurring.
