In the financial accounting domain, consolidation refers to the aggregation of financial information including income and expenses into a single account. This is done when a parent company owns a group of multiple subsidiaries or affiliated companies.<\/p>\n

Generally, here is how organizations perform financial consolidation in their accounting books:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Collect balance sheet data from various ledger systems and assign them to a centralized accounting system. Balance sheet data typically includes the company\u2019s assets and liabilities, equity, earned income, and business expenses.<\/li>\n
  2. Consolidate the balance sheet data according to prevailing financial guidelines. Some of the accounting standards include Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB) in Germany, the US-based GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).<\/li>\n
  3. Report the financial results to internal and external stakeholders in the company.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
