The parent may enter into transactions with its subsidiary. These intercompany transactions must be eliminated when preparing consolidated
financial statements because the parent and its subsidiary are viewed as a single reporting entity. This can be simplified by the statement, “You
cannot transact with your own self.”
The proponents of the accounting standards would like to ensure that then readers of the consolidated financial statements will not be confused,
and may always think that the financial information that they are reading is coming from a single entity.
Precy Company and Mercy Corporation are related entities because Precy is the mother company while Mercy is the subsidiary. Precy purchased
merchandise worth P1,000,000 and sells them to Mercy for P1,500,000 realizing a gross profit of P500,000.
If consolidated financial statements will be prepared, how much gross profit shall be reported? (AFI)
The answer is none. Because the group of companies cannot be benefited even if Precy Company continuously sold its products to Mercy. It is
simply transferring the money from one pocket to another pocket of the same person.
This is the logic why intercompany transactions should be eliminated in preparing consolidated financial statements. It is the same as if, nothing
happened. (AFI)
