This process is used to ensure that the consolidated financial statements accurately reflect the financial performance of the entire group.

This structure will define which companies are included in the consolidation and how their financial data will be combined. Once this is done, you can then use the Affecting Net Income feature to adjust the net income of each company in the consolidation. This adjustment will take into account any intercompany transactions, eliminations, and other adjustments that need to be made in order to accurately reflect the financial performance of the entire group.
