Consolidated Financial Statement

The consolidated financial statement is the statement prepared by the holding company after taking into account all of its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates' assets and liabilities. Consolidated financial statements are intended to portray the operating activities and economic position of a parent and all of its affiliates as if they're a single economic entity. Particularly for the benefit of the family's owners and creditors. In other words, it is a consolidated view of all assets and liabilities, including profit and loss items from the company's holdings and subsidiaries.
