A consolidated balance sheet shows the combined balances of the parent company and its subsidiaries. On the balance sheet of the parent company, all the assets of the subsidiary are added with the assets of the parent company. In case of a non-controlling stake, a separate item “non-controlling” interest is reported on the balance sheet of the parent company.
