Practical answers for parent companies and finance teams
Frequently asked questions about group accounting and consolidation
What are consolidated accounts?
Consolidated accounts bring together the financial information of the parent company and the subsidiaries included in the consolidation, so that the group can be viewed as a whole. The scope, presentation and adjustments depend on the applicable accounting requirements and the group structure.
Does every parent company have to prepare consolidated accounts?
No. Exemptions can apply, but they need to be assessed for the particular group. The answer can depend on size, ownership, the parent company’s circumstances and the applicable rules. Having a parent company abroad does not, by itself, settle the Swedish requirements.
How do consolidated accounts differ from the parent company’s annual report?
The parent company’s own annual report describes that legal entity. Consolidated accounts combine information for the companies included in the group and address relevant intragroup items. The documents are connected, but their figures and purposes are different.
Which records do you need from the group companies?
We normally start with the group structure, ownership information, financial years and the reports and schedules available from each company. Further records can include trial balances, intercompany balances, transaction details, accounting policies and earlier group reporting. We agree the information needed for the assignment.
How are transactions between group companies handled?
Intragroup balances and transactions need to be identified and reconciled so that the relevant eliminations and other consolidation adjustments can be considered. We help follow up differences and missing records within the agreed scope. The treatment depends on the transactions and accounting framework.
Can the subsidiaries use different accounting systems?
Yes. We can review the reports that each system can produce and agree how the information should be mapped and submitted. Clear reporting instructions, consistent schedules and a shared timetable make the compilation and reconciliation work easier to follow.
Can you coordinate subsidiaries outside Sweden?
Yes. We can coordinate records with overseas finance teams and existing accountants and explain the Swedish work in English. Where local accounting or tax expertise is needed, we can discuss coordination through ETL GLOBAL. Responsibilities and any additional work are agreed with you.
Is a reporting package for a foreign parent company the same as Swedish statutory reporting?
Not necessarily. A foreign parent’s reporting package may use different policies, formats or deadlines from the Swedish statutory documents. We clarify which reporting is required, which framework applies and how to coordinate the information. Any differences need to be considered for the particular group.
Can you work with our current accountants and auditors?
Yes. We can take on an agreed part of the group accounting work or coordinate a wider assignment with your existing team. Preparing group reporting and performing an audit are separate assignments. We agree who prepares the records, reviews the adjustments and approves the final documents.
How do we get started, and what will the work cost?
Register as a new client or contact us with the group structure, countries involved, reporting periods and the help you need. After an initial review, we can discuss the scope, timetable, access and fee basis. Registration is not an order and does not extend a filing deadline.
