Consolidated financial statements present the financial position and operating results of a group of companies under common control as if they constitute a single entity. When one company gains control over another company, it becomes a parent company and gaap requires it to present consolidated statements for external reporting purposes. Either the entity method or the parent company extension method must be used when consolidating non wholly owned subsidiaries.
