Consolidated financial statements are presented by a parent (also known as the holding enterprise) to provide financial information about the economic activities of its group. These statements are intended to present financial information about a parent and its subsidiary (ies) as a single economic entity to show the economic resources controlled by the group, the obligations of the group and the results, the group achieves with its resources.
