Objective
This Statement deals with the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial
statements for a group of enterprises under the control of a parent company. Consolidated
financial statements have been developed to meet the requirement for information
concerning the financial position, results of operations and changes in the financial position
of a group of enterprises.
Scope
(a) the method of accounting for business combinations and their effects on
consolidation, including goodwill arising on a business combination;
02 This Statement is applicable for all parent companies as long as there is no specific
guidance in a separate Statement concerning the preparation of consolidated financial
statements.
Definitions
Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so
as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Minority interest is that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a
subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, through
subsidiaries, by the parent company.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS No. 4
EXPLANATION
04 Users of financial statements are usually concerned with and need to be informed of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the group company. This need
is solved by consolidated financial statements, which present financial information about the
group company as a single economic entity even though each company in the group is a
separate legal entity.
05 Consolidated financial statements include all enterprises that are controlled by the
parent company, other than those subsidiaries excluded for the reasons set out in paragraph
6. Control is presumed to exist when the parent company owns, directly, or indirectly
through subsidiaries, more than 50 percent of the voting rights of an enterprise. Even when
a company owns 50 percent or less of the voting rights of an enterprise, control exists when
one of the following conditions is met:
(a) having more than 50 percent of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with
other investors;
(b) having the right to govern the financial and operating policies of the enterprise
under the articles of association or an agreement;
(c) ability to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors
and commissioners; and
(d) ability to control the majority of votes at a meeting of the board of directors or
commissioners.
(a) control is intended to be temporary because the subsidiary is acquired and held
exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal in the near future; or,
(b) it operates under long term restrictions which significantly impair its ability to
transfer funds to the parent company.
Such subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company as other investments in
accordance with SFAS No.13, Accounting for Investments.
07 A subsidiary having dissimilar business activities from those of the other enterprises
within the group company is still to be consolidated. In the notes to the consolidated
financial statements the different business activities should be disclosed.

Consolidation Procedures
(a) the carrying amount of the parent company's investment in each subsidiary and the
parent company's portion of equity of each subsidiary are eliminated;
(b) inter-company balances and transactions including sales, expenses and dividends
are eliminated in full;
(c) unrealized profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions are
eliminated;
(d) minority interest in the net income is presented as a deduction from the consolidated
net income to arrive at the net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent
company; and
(e) minority interests in the net assets are presented in the consolidated balance sheet
separately between liabilities and equity. Minority interests in the net assets consist
of:
(i) the amount at the date of the original combination calculated in accordance with
SFAS No. 22, Accounting for Business Combinations; and
(ii) the minority's share of movement in equity since the date of the combination.
09 The financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements are usually drawn up to the same date.
When the reporting dates are different, the subsidiary often prepares, for consolidation
purposes, statements as at the same date as the parent company. When it is impracticable to
do this, financial statements drawn up to different reporting dates may be used provided the
difference is no greater than three months. The consistency principle dictates that the length
of reporting periods and any difference in the reporting dates should be the same from
period to period.
11 Consolidated financial statements are prepared using a uniform accounting policy for
similar transactions and events in similar circumstances. If a member of the group company
uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements
for similar transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are
made to its financial statements when they are used in preparing the consolidated financial
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS No. 4
13 As from the date that it ceases to fall within the definition of a subsidiary and does
not become an associate as defined in SFAS No.15, Accounting for Investments in
Associates, an investment in an enterprise is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.
13, Accounting for Investments.
14 The losses applicable to the minority in a consolidated subsidiary may exceed the
minority interest in the equity of the subsidiary. The excess and any further losses applicable
to the minority, are charged against the majority interest except to the extent that minority
has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make good the losses. If the subsidiary
subsequently reports profit, the majority interest is allocated all such profits until the
minority's share of losses previously absorbed by the majority has been recovered.
15 If a subsidiary has outstanding cumulative preferred shares which are held outside
the group company, the parent company computes its share of profits or losses after
adjusting for the subsidiary's preferred dividends, whether or not dividends have been
declared.
16 If the parent has met the requirements for consolidation, consolidated financial
statements should be prepared. A parent that has met the requirements should not present
its financial statements on a stand alone basis because there is only one general purpose
financial statement which is a consolidated financial statement. However, stand alone
financial statements can be presented as additional information. In a parent companys stand
alone financial statements, investments in subsidiaries should be recorded using the equity
method.
Disclosure
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS No. 4
17 In order that the users of the consolidated financial statements may understand the
relationship between members of the group company, the following disclosures are made:
(a) a listing of significant subsidiaries, including name, country of incorporation or
residency, proportion of ownership interest and, if different, proportion of voting
interest;
(b) the reasons for not consolidating a subsidiary; and
(c) the nature of the relationship between the parent company and a subsidiary where
the parent company does not own, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more
than one half of the voting interest.
18 In order that the users of the separate financial statements of the parent are aware of
the method used to account for subsidiaries, a description of the method should be
disclosed.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS No. 4
19 When a parent company owns directly, or indirectly through a subsidiary, more than
50 percent of the voting rights of an enterprise it should present consolidated financial
statements. An enterprise that owns 50 percent or less of the voting rights should be
required to prepare consolidated financial statements if it is proved that control does exist.
Consolidated financial statements should consolidate all subsidiaries, foreign and domestic.
(a) control is intended to be temporary because the subsidiary is acquired and held
exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal in the near future; or
(b) it operates under long-term restrictions so that it cannot transfer funds to the parent
company.
Such subsidiaries should be accounted for as if they are investments in accordance with
SFAS No.13, Accounting for Investments.
Consolidation Procedures
22 Unrealized profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions between the
parent company and its subsidiaries should also be eliminated.
23 For consolidated purposes it is preferable that the parent company and its
subsidiaries should have common financial reporting dates. If a difference exists, it may be
used for consolidation providing that:
(b) significant events or transactions that occur between these dates and the date of the
group's financial statements are disclosed.
When financial statements with different reporting dates (more than three months) are
consolidated, adjustments are made for the effects of any significant events or inter-
company transactions that occur between these dates and the date of the group's financial
statements.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS No. 4
27 A parent company that fulfills the requirements for consolidation cannot present
unconsolidated financial statements as general purpose financial statements. A parent
company's stand alone financial statements can only be presented as additional information
in consolidated financial statements. In these separate financial statements, investments in
subsidiaries should be recorded using the equity method.
