This document provides an overview of IAS 27 regarding consolidated financial statements. It discusses key topics such as the rationale for consolidated financial statements, acquisition accounting, accounting for subsidiaries, associated companies, and joint ventures. Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of a parent company and its subsidiaries to present financial information about the group as a single economic entity. The accounting aims to eliminate intra-group transactions and balances.

9. RATIONALE FOR GROUP FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
 Interdependent relationships within a group
(patrimonial, contractual, personal ties)
 Loss of part of their independence of individual
entities
 Common or unified management
 Economic interest of the group > individual
interests of legal entities involved
 It is economically more relevant to present the
financial statement of the economic whole as an
aggregate of all assets and liabilities under unified
control

revalued net assets and the investment by the
parent
 The fair value at acquisition date is considered to
be the historical cost from the point of view of the
parent
