Expert Solution
Step 1

Intercompany debts are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.  Intercompany transactions mean transactions involving the members of the group. There are various types of intercompany debts between members of the group.

When preparing consolidated financials these intercompany transactions within the group are eliminated. Only third-party transactions will be present in the consolidated financial statements. This is done to ensure that the assets, liabilities, expenses, and income are not overstated due to double counting.
