(B) Consolidation process and its importance.
The term consolidation accounting can be defined as a process of aligning the financial
outcomes of companies into combined financial result of an another company (Bergmann,
Grossi, Rauskala and Fuchs, S., 2016). This consists various kind of rules and regulations which
are needed to be followed. The consolidation accounting consists various kind of steps that
should be applied. Herein, below process of consolidation is mentioned that is as follows :
 Record inter-company loans- In the consolidation process, it is important to record inter-
company loans from subsidiary company to parent company. As well as interest income
from parent to subsidiary company is also essential to record.
 Charge corporate overhead – In the case when parent company assigns all overheads to
the subsidiary company then it is important to compute allocation amount and charge this
from different subsidiary companies.
 Charge payables- If parent organisation operates consolidated payable then this is
essential to record all accounts payable during time period of charging to different
subsidiary companies.
 Charge payroll expenditures – If parent company is applying common pay system for
making payment to their staff then this is important to ensure that allocation of payroll
expenditure is done to all subsidiaries.

 Complete adjusting entries – As well as it is needed to record any kind of adjusted entries
effectively in correct time period.
 Investigation of assets, liabilities and equity account balances – This is compulsory for
accountants to verify all amount of assets, liabilities and equities of both subsidiaries and
parent companies.
 Reduce inter-company transactions – In the case when there are inter-company
transactions then it is important to reverse to parent company so that their effect over
consolidated financial statements can be minimised.
 Recording of income tax liabilities – In the case when a company earns profit then it is
essential to record these at subsidiary level.
 Review of financial statements of parent company – It is necessary for accountants to
assess the financial statements of parent company so that unusual amount can be find out.
 Close subsidiary books – In the end after complete assessment of financial transaction of
subsidiary companies, next step is to closing books of subsidiary books.
 Close parent company books – Same as the subsidiary books , parent companies' books
are also needed to be closed . The purpose of closing these books is to preventing
additional transactions in that accounting period.
 Issue of financial statements – After completing of consolidated accounting process, it is
essential to print the financial statements of parent company.
So this is the complete process of consolidated accounting which is required to be followed in
both subsidiary and parent company.
Note – In the case when subsidiary company is using different currencies in their operations then
an additional accounting step is required to convert financial statements into operating currency
of parent company.
Question 3. Consolidation
(I) Acquisition analysis at July 2016 :
Net fair value of acquired assets and liabilities = $ (100000 + 50000 + 70000)
= $ 220000
Net consideration transferred = $ (240000 – 20000)

= $ 220000
Amount of goodwill = $ (220000 – 220000)
= $ 0
Note* : The shares were acquired so Jackson limited is eligible to get amount of divided which
was declared by subsidiary.
