Where a parent is a company, the consolidated financial statements shall be in the form set out in Appendix to this Standard or as near thereto as circumstances admit.

In preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses.
