This paper aims at recognising the accounting methods for consolidation differences in the IAS/IFRS consolidated financial statements actually utilised by the major parent-companies listed on regulated markets in the lead EU Countries. To this end, first of all the accounting criteria for positive and negative consolidation differences in the consolidated financial statements established by IFRS 3 have been recognised. Then, a sample of No. 250 parent-companies listed on regulated European markets and that prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS has been selected, in order to ascertain the effective accounting methods commonly used by European business practice. Finally, some aspects of special interest that emerged from the results of the empirical survey will be analysed, together with some questions that the same results have produced.

In the consolidated financial statements, the non-controlling interest is an important indicator, a part of equity. The recognition of this criteria will help the consolidated financial statements become more public, transparent and accurate, and help shareholders to understand their interests in the investment process and in the capital contribution process. However, at present, the regulations on recognition of non-controlling interest are still controversial when corporations, parent companies, and groups are implemented in practice, including Dong Bac Corporation. By analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating methods, the author focuses on researching the theoretical basis of non-controlling interest, clarifying how to recognize and present non-controlling interests at the Dong Bac Corporation.

Consolidated financial statements does not wholly provide complete information of the company’s activities with many segments. To meet the need of the financial statement users, it is necessary to expose the segmental financial information. The main objective of the exposure of the segmental financial information is to provide information for the users about relativity scale, profit contribution and the growth trend of each company’s segments to enable the financial reports users to better evaluate the company as a whole. The preparation procedure of the segmental financial statement is provided in PSAK No.5. Segmental financial reporting is a must for the ging-public company. However, this segmental report does not preclude the whole consolidated financial statement, because a segmental repot is merely complimentary to make consolidated financial report more informative.

The objective of the research was to identify possible positive synergistic effect of concerns. Because of the advantages of the existence of consolidated financial statements, the focus is on the Czech consolidated groups.Consolidated financial statements of 719 groups of accounting entities – concerns in the Czech Republic were studied, i.e., the statistical population consisted of 719 reporting units, which can be considered as the total population of all published consolidated financial statements. Following economic indicators were analyzed to discover the existence of positive synergistic effect: cash position ratio, return on equity, return on sales.Based on the research, it the authors concluded that return on equity revealed dependency between change in the value of the indicator of the parent company and consolidated unit. Values of this indicator are interesting from the investment point of view. They confirm success of capital acquisitions.Cash ratio monitoring revealed an inconsistent environment, unambiguous data correlation between the group data and the individual financial statements of the parent companies.Return on sales indicator showed that consolidated groups had reached higher values of the indicator, i.e., lower total cost ratio than parent companies. Data correlation was found at the low level, i.e., the parent companies did not influence consolidated data.Acquisition companies in the Czech Republic in the period 2008–2013 generated positive financial synergy. For financial indicator of return on equity, dependence between consolidated groups and parent companies was confirmed. Positive financial synergy was found out for all monitored financial indicators.

Purpose: The article compares the scope and place of disclosure of valuable environmental information in the annual consolidated financial statements of the largest listed companies in Poland's energy sector. Methodology/approach: The empirical study used content analysis of the consolidated statements of the examined entities and comparative analysis. Results: The study showed that the largest publicly traded companies in the energy sector disclose similar groups of environmental information, but where they were presented and the detailed content were more varied. The information is presented in different parts of the financial statements, often in several different layouts and forms. Due to this approach, users of financial statements are required to group and compile the information on their own in order to compare it. This is not conducive to the transparency and some-times even the credibility of comparative environmental information between individual companies. Thus, it may negatively impact investor decisions. Research limitations/implications: This study should be extended to compare the published environmen-tal information contained in the consolidated financial statements of companies from other industries whose activities have a significant impact on the natural environment. Originality/value: The research is innovative, as it indicates the scope of valuable information in the field of the natural environment that should be taken into account when standardizing the financial reporting of companies.

Teaching and learning accounting for consolidations is a challenging endeavor. Students not only need to understand the conceptual underpinnings of the accounting requirements for consolidations, but also must master the complex accounting needed to prepare consolidated financial statements. To add to the challenge, the consolidation process is dependent on how the parent company accounts for the investment on its parent company ledgers. Parent company ledgers either use the cost method or some variation of the equity method to account for investments to be consolidated. The variety in those accounting approaches used by parent companies is comparable to the variety of approaches to teach consolidations that are presented in advanced accounting textbooks, as documented by Luehlfing (1995). Luehlfing outlines the parent company accounting methods that are presumed to be used to teach consolidation accounting in each of the existing U.S. advanced accounting texts, noting that authors promote one method over others.  Luehlfing suggests that students should be provided with a comparison of the parent company entries under the cost method and each adaptation of the equity method so that they can obtain a better understanding of the differences in the consolidation worksheet elimination/reclassification entries.  Rather than having students learn different consolidation worksheet entries as a result of different recording methods used by the parent for an investment requiring consolidation, an approach can be adopted so that students only need to learn one set of consolidation worksheet entries to develop consolidated financial statements. In addition, a method of analyzing the parent’s investment account can be used to not only help understand the conceptual issues associated with consolidation accounting, but also greatly facilitate the mechanics of preparing the consolidation worksheet entries.

In this study, we analyze compliance with global professional regulations on a sample of Serbian joint-stock parent companies, focusing on the selected disclosures in their consolidated financial statements. Providing relevant and transparent information on the corporate group as a whole, consolidated financial statements are proclaimed to be useful information sources for the existing and potential capital providers of parent companies. Conformity with global professional accounting regulations is seen as an important prerequisite of high-quality financial reporting. However, country and entity-specific factors remain influential, resulting in financial statements of differing features. Lacking intense regulatory and market pressures, the management of Serbian corporate groups appears not to be strongly committed to achieving prime-quality disclosures in consolidated financial statements. We find that the differences in compliance levels of analyzed companies could be explained by the differences in the size of the parent company, its ownership structure, type of auditor and profitability of the group. The results of our research may be useful for investors, corporate managers, regulators and future researchers looking at the quality of consolidated financial reporting.

The European Commission initiated a discussion on the expediency of using the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), based on the IAS/IFRS, as a common base for harmonizing the public sector accounting systems of the member states. However, literature suggests that accounting is not neutral with respect to the economic, social and political dimensions. In the perspective of evolution of the accounting regulation outlined, balanced between accountability, with the need to represent phenomena for reporting pur-poses, and decisionmaking issues, which concentrates on the quantitative importance of the values, the paper aims to analyse the effects of the application of different criteria for the definition of the reporting entity of the local government consolidated financial statements (CFS). The Italian PCA 4/4, the test of control and the financial accountability approaches are examined. The evidence that emerged from the case studies examined identifies several criticalities in the Italian PCA 4/4 and support the thesis that the financial accountability approach is more effective in providing a complete representation of the public resources entrusted to and managed by the group, whereas the control approach better approximates quantification of the group results in terms of central government surveillance. The analysis highlights the importance of the post implementation review period and the opportunity to contextualize the adoption of the consolidated financial statement in the broader spectrum of the accounting harmonization process, participating in the process of definition of the European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS).
