Consolidate is a group-reporting concept used to combine parent, subsidiary, and controlled-entity financial statements.
Consolidation method, adjustment, full-consolidation, pooling, and negative-difference terms used in group reporting.
Consolidation Methods and Adjustments is the financial-statement landing page for consolidation methods, consolidation adjustments, subsidiaries, holding companies, exemptions, pre-acquisition profits, and unconsolidated subsidiaries. It keeps related terms in one branch so readers can move from a broad statement question to the article that owns the evidence.
Use this page when a group-reporting method or subsidiary treatment changes which entities are included in the statements. Use the parent Consolidation Methods, Adjustments, and Subsidiaries page when you need the broader reporting map. For an individual decision, confirm the statement line, disclosure note, reporting period, measurement basis, and calculation before relying on the term.
