Question 1:
Memorandum
To: Chief financial officer (CFO)
Cc: Other team members
From: Accountant name
Date: 6 Sept 2018
Subject: Investment decisions in Soletta ltd.
This memorandum has been prepared to analyze that why an organization should
acquire other company and how the financial records are prepared in the company. In the
memorandum, purpose of consolidated financial statement, meaning of group, subsidiary and
parent company, intra transaction adjustment etc has been studied.
consolidated financial statements are the statement which collectively describe about
the financial performance of an organization. The main purpose behind the preparation of
consolidated financial statement is describe the overall performance to the stakeholders of the
parent company. A parent company prepares the consolidated financial statement which
includes the statement of subsidiary companies as well.
Group, parent and subsidiary companies are inter linked to each other. A group
company owns the parent company and subsidiary companies. It is not important for a group
company to have the operations in the industry. Further, a parent company is could be a part
of Group Company which holds the control of interest in various subsidiary companies. The
substantial interest in the subsidiary companies improves the profitability level of the
business (Higgins, 2012). Lastly, those companies who are controlled and owned by the other
companies are the subsidiary companies.
A group is eligible to hold various parent companies at the same time. The only
condition with the group company is that the parent companies must operate as a single
economic entity and it must also have common source of control over the interest and the
profits.

Company Accounting
Intra group transactions are recorded by the parent companies in their consolidated
financial statement to reduce the impact of inter transaction among the companies. It contains
only those transactions which have taken place in the business only (Haney, 2009).
Operations and transaction with external parties are not collected.
Realization of inventory in the business occurs at the time when external entities are
involved in the transaction, such as, at the time, when the inventory is sold to clients which
are not the part of company.
