This Standard should be applied in the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements for a group of enterprises under the control of a parent. 2. This Standard should also be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of a parent. 3. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, other Accounting Standards also apply in the same manner as they apply to the separate statements. 4. This Standard does not deal with: (a) methods of accounting for amalgamations and their effects on consolidation, including goodwill arising on amalgamation (see AS 14, Accounting for Amalgamations); (b) accounting for investments in associates (at present governed by AS 13, Accounting for Investments 6 ); and (c) accounting for investments in joint ventures (at present governed by AS 13, Accounting for Investments 7 ). Definitions 5. For the purpose of this Standard, the following terms are used with the meanings specified: 5.1 Control: (a) the ownership, directly or indirectly through subsidiary(ies), of more than one-h .....

(c) Additional statutory information disclosed in separate financial statements of the subsidiary and/or a parent having no bearing on the true and fair view of the consolidated financial statements need not be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. An illustration of such information in the case of companies is attached to the Standard. Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements 7. A parent which presents consolidated financial statements should present these statements in addition to its separate financial statements. 8. Users of the financial statements of a parent are usually concerned with, and need to be informed about, the financial position and results of operations of not only the enterprise itself but also of the group as a whole. This need is served by providing the users (a) separate financial statements of the parent; and (b) consolidated financial statements, which present financial information about the group as that of a single enterprise without regard to the legal boundaries of the separate .....

An enterprise is deemed to have the power to appoint a member, if any of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) a person cannot be appointed as member of the governing body without the exercise in his favour by that other enterprise of such a power as aforesaid; or (b) a person s appointment as member of the governing body follows necessarily from his appointment to a position held by him in that other enterprise; or (c) the member of the governing body is nominated by that other enterprise. Explanation: It is possible that an enterprise is controlled by two enterprises one controls by virtue of ownership of majority of the voting power of that enterprise and the other controls, by virtue of an agreement or otherwise, the composition of the board of directors so as to obtain economic benefits from its activities. In such a rare situation, when an enterprise is controlled by two enterprises as per the definition of control , the first mentioned enterprise will be considered as subsidiary .....

For example, the disclosures required by Accounting Standard (AS) 17, Segment Reporting, help to explain the significance of different business activities within the group. Consolidation Procedures 13. In preparing consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries should be combined on a line by line basis by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. In order that the consolidated financial statements present financial information about the group as that of a single enterprise, the following steps should be taken: (a) the cost to the parent of its investment in each subsidiary and the parent s portion of equity of each subsidiary, at the date on which investment in each subsidiary is made, should be eliminated; (b) any excess of the cost to the .....

However, if the financial statements of a subsidiary, as on the date of investment, are not available and if it is impracticable to draw the financial statements of the subsidiary as on that date, financial statements of the subsidiary for the immediately preceding period are used as a basis for consolidation. Adjustments are made to these financial statements for the effects of significant transactions or other events that occur between the date of such financial statements and the date of investment in the subsidiary. 15. If an enterprise makes two or more investments in another enterprise at different dates and eventually obtains control of the other enterprise, the consolidated financial statements are presented only from the date on which holding-subsidiary relationship comes in existence. If two or more investments are made over a period of time, the equity of the subsidiary at the date of investment, for the purposes of paragraph 13 above, is generally determined on a step-by-step basis; however, if small investments are made over a period of time and then an invest .....

If a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements when they are used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 22. The results of operations of a subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements as from the date on which parent-subsidiary relationship came in existence. The results of operations of a subsidiary with which parent-subsidiary relationship ceases to exist are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss until the date of cessation of the relationship. The difference between the proceeds from the disposal of investment in a subsidiary and the carrying amount of its assets less liabilities as of the date of disposal is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss as the profit or loss on the disposal of the investment in the subsidiary.

Transitional Provisions 30. On the first occasion that consolidated financial statements are presented, comparative figures for the previous period need not be presented. In all subsequent years full comparative figures for the previous period should be presented in the consolidated financial statements.
