Do parent and subsidiary companies need consolidated statements?

The parent and subsidiary companies need to prepare consolidated statements.

The compilation of consolidated statements means that two companies are regarded as one company, and the parent company that issued the statements should include all subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements. That is, as long as it is a subsidiary controlled by the parent company, regardless of the size of the subsidiary, whether the ability of the subsidiary to transfer funds to the parent company is strictly restricted, and whether the business nature of the subsidiary is significantly different from that of the parent company or other subsidiaries in the enterprise group, it should be included in the consolidated financial statements.

It should be noted that for overseas subsidiaries subject to foreign exchange control and other controls of the host country, the financial and operating policies of the investee are still determined by the company, and the company can also benefit from its business activities. The restriction of fund scheduling does not prevent the company from controlling it. Therefore, it should be included in the consolidated financial statements.
