The Main Owner Percentage Register

This page describes the Main Owner Percentage register in the Consolidation module.

---

The Main Owner Percentage register in the Consolidation module allows you to specify that a Daughter Company is partially owned by the Mother. This will mean that only a percentage of the results of the Daughter Company will be reported to the Mother.

Working in the Daughter Company, enter a record in this register in which you specify the percentage of the Daughter Company that is owned by the Mother. As shown in the illustration above, you can enter additional records if the ownership percentage changes over time. In this example, the Mother Company owned 40% of the Daughter to start with, and gradually increased its holding to 60%.

The appropriate percentage of the Daughter Company's Account balances will be included in consolidated reports produced from the Mother Company. For example:

Report PeriodPercentage
01/01/2015:31/12/201540
01/01/2016:31/12/201645
01/01/2015:31/12/201645

In the third example, the Main Owner Percentage changed during the report period. When this happens, the latest percentage will be used.

If the Main Owner Percentage register is empty in a particular Daughter Company, it will be assumed that the Daughter Company is 100% owned by the Mother.

If a Daughter Company is partially-owned and you have entered an appropriate record in the Main Owner Percentage register, you should also select the Reduce Minorities option in each Account record in the Daughter Company. This will ensure that the balance of each Account will be reduced to the correct percentage in consolidated reports. If you do not select the Reduce Minorities option in a particular Account, the full balance of that Account will be included in consolidated reports.

The Main Owner Percentage register and the Reduce Minorities option will also be taken into account by the 'Consolidation' Export function. In the export file, the balance for each Account in which the Reduce Minorities option has been selected will be reduced to the correct percentage.
