Company D's other operating income was RMB 10 million. However, Company A has substantial control over Company C because the legal representatives of Company A, C, and D are all the same person. At the end of 2007's financial statements, Company A did not consolidate the statements of Company C, that is, Company C was an off-balance sheet company, and Company A reflected Company C as a long-term equity investment. Company C did not include Company D in the scope of the consolidated statement. Company C to Company D and Company D to Company B were reflected as long-term equity investments.
- Analysis: According to the new standards, when the consolidated financial statements were issued in 2007, Company A and Company C dealt with the problem properly. The correct handling should be:
- (1) Company A shall incorporate Company C into the scope of consolidation in accordance with the principle of control;
- (2) Company C should undoubtedly consolidate the statement of Company D, because Company D is a wholly-owned subsidiary of company C, and company C has substantial control over it.
- Example 2: Continued Example 1. With the continuous development of the real estate market, company A's grasp of the real estate market continues to increase. Company A merged with other companies to register a real estate company, Company E, which owns 60% of the equity of Company E; the equity is still held by Company D, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company C, because Company A does not have a consolidated statement of company C. Natural Company E The assets and operating income cannot be reflected in the consolidated statement. In this regard, company H handled this way and transferred 60% of the equity of company E to another company A's holding company F, which solved the problem that company E's assets and operating income could not be merged.
- Analysis: This practice of Company A itself proves that Company A has substantial control over Company C. Otherwise, how can Company 60 transfer its equity in Company E to Company F? At the end of the company's period, it is better to include Company C directly into the scope of consolidation, Company C will incorporate Company D into the scope of consolidation, and Company D merges Company E's statements. The company's equity is still reflected as a long-term equity investment, which is very clear and fully meets the new standards. Definition of the scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements. The new standard has been implemented in all large and medium-sized enterprises in 2008, but the understanding of the new standard needs to be deepened with the development of specific accounting services. Accounting can truly reflect the financial status and operating performance of the company, and financial management can Be a good staff for business management and decision-making.
- Case 2: Analysis of working hours of Pingmei Group's consolidated accounting statements [3]
- Pingdingshan Coal Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Pingdingshan Coal Group) was formerly Pingdingshan Coal Mining Bureau. In 1996, it took the lead in restructuring the coal system. According to the management requirements at that time, it has been adopting the method of grading and summarizing statements to compile group companies Financial Statements. In 1998, the company to be listed was established in the form of a divestiture listing. At the end of 2000, it was formally separated from the group company. Therefore, the group company changed its consolidated financial statements to consolidated financial statements in 2001. In the process of transformation, we encountered common problems existing in large enterprise groups, and also faced individual problems in our enterprise groups. These problems have brought great difficulties to the work of consolidated accounting statements. How to properly solve these problems is the key to the work of consolidated accounting statements. After repeated research and clarification of ideas, Pingmei Group guided the relevant content of the "Enterprise Accounting System" and adopted flexible working methods and methods in accordance with the principles of preparing consolidated accounting statements to solve existing problems and finally achieved the preparation of consolidation. Requirements for accounting statements.
- First, first straighten out the internal equity investment relationship of the group company
- In the initial stage of the restructuring of Pingmei Group Corporation, during the restructuring operation of its subordinate second-level subsidiaries, due to the vague concept, some irregular investment behaviors were caused, which mainly manifested in three forms: First, the second-level subsidiary's investment in the second level The nature of the company is that the subsidiary company invests in the parent company in turn; the second is that some second-level branches invest in the construction of third-level small legal entities, but the second-level branch does not have the investment qualification; the third is between the subsidiaries that have no practical meaning Mutual investment behavior. The above internal equity investment relations have brought great difficulties to the consolidated accounting statements of the group company.
- To this end, the above-mentioned irregular internal equity investment relations must be rationalized and analyzed item by item. Pingmei Group decided to liquidate its internal equity investment within a time limit. According to relevant regulations, the parent company is the investment entity of its subsidiary company, and the subsidiary company can also be used as the investment entity to conduct standardized investment activities. The second-level branch does not have the legal person status, and therefore cannot be used as an investment entity for investment activities. Pingmei Group has adopted effective clean-up measures. The first step is to transfer the branch's equity investment in the subsidiary to the group company as the parent company's equity investment in its subsidiary. The second step is to return the mutual investment between non-meaningful subsidiaries. The third step is to conduct a comprehensive mapping and special research on the investment of small legal entities invested and constructed by each branch company, and rationalize each situation. However, due to historical reasons and the special circumstances of the enterprise, some of the small legal entities established by the branch company have no better way to solve it, and can only maintain the status quo for the time being. But need to accurately grasp its basic information. Facilitate a targeted approach to the merger. After adopting the above measures, the group company's internal investment relationship is clearer, and it also meets the requirements of the Company Law on the number of investors, laying a good foundation for the consolidated accounting statements.
- Design offset business processes for the needs of consolidated statements
- The elimination of repeat business within the group is the principle and basis of consolidated accounting statements. Therefore, the correctness of offsetting entries will directly affect the quality of consolidated accounting statements. Pingmei Coal Group has 18 second-tier subsidiaries, 54 second-tier branches, and 12 second-tier branches to build third-tier subsidiaries. The volume of offsetting business is large. In order to ensure the smooth generation of consolidated statements, it is particularly important to design and optimize the offsetting business process. Under normal circumstances, gradual offsetting is used for subsidiaries, and the Group only offsets subsidiaries. However, the offsetting business of the three-tier subsidiary companies established by the branch cannot adopt the method of gradual offsetting, and the group must directly offset it, which makes it more difficult for the group's financial department to offset the workload. The Group not only collects the basic information and data required for the offsetting entries of the secondary subsidiaries, but also collects the necessary data and data for the offsetting entries of the subsidiaries of the branch. This special situation should be fully taken into account when designing the offset business process, and the final confirmation from the consolidated unit-the capital contribution ratio-the calculation of investment income-equity offset-internal sales offset-investment income offset-internal transactions offset- Unified accounting policy adjustment-offsetting business process for preparing working papers for consolidated financial statements. The author believes that the scientifically optimized offsetting business process is the fundamental guarantee for the smooth preparation of consolidated accounting statements.
- Third, the flexible selection of consolidated accounting statements
- The scale of Pingmei Group is relatively large, and there are a large number of households included in the group company's summary report. It has been reported hierarchically and gradually. Report. However, after changing to consolidated accounting statements, due to the special situation of a second-level branch building a third-level subsidiary, if the layered summary method is completely eliminated in accordance with the level, the parent company summary report produced will have the following results : Such as minority shareholders' equity, investment loss has not been confirmed, etc. It is too difficult and unrealistic to roll it all in a mesh. Therefore, a single summary method cannot meet the needs of consolidated accounting statements. Pingmei Coal Group decided to adopt a combination of layered summary and network summary to include the third-level subsidiary part of the second-level branch company as a single household in the second level. Subsidiary report summary range, generating subsidiary summary report, and the second-level branch part is included in the parent company summary report range. After the parent and subsidiary statements are summarized, according to the offsetting entries and the consolidated accounting statement requirements, the working papers of the relevant statements are prepared, and finally the consolidated accounting statements are produced.
- Fourth, the group company's financial department breaks the traditional internal division of business division of labor model
- For a long time, the internal sections of the Finance Department were set up in accordance with the content of accounting calculations. In the process of offsetting consolidated accounting statements, there was a phenomenon of mutual crap and shirk. The progress of the report has been affected to varying degrees. In response to this phenomenon, it is necessary to break the original structure, integrate the business of each department according to the offsetting business process, and concentrate the main offsetting work in one department. Work is scattered. Practice has proved that in this way, the offsetting work of the consolidated accounting statements becomes smoother.
- Consolidated accounting statements are relatively complicated in accounting operations. Due to historical reasons, the irregularities in institutional setup and investment behavior have brought great trouble to accounting. Due to the many problems faced by state-owned enterprises, Pingmei Group is facing a problem that cannot change history. It can only use the "Enterprise Accounting System" as a guide to grasp the principles of consolidated accounting statements and optimize the work in accordance with the actual situation of the enterprise Procedures, choose correct and convenient working methods, properly handle special accounting matters, and ensure the successful completion of consolidated accounting statements. Provide accounting information using departments with true and comprehensive accounting statements that reflect the financial status, operating results and cash flows of the enterprise group. At the same time, Pingmei Group attaches great importance to seeking solutions to problems left over by history. Strictly follow the requirements of the "Company Law" to gradually rationalize investment behaviors and institutional settings to reduce the work difficulty of accountants and also benefit the healthy development of group companies.
