A related party is a person or an entity that is somehow related to the entity putting together a financial statement.

This could be someone who has partial control or ownership of the reporting company. It could also be someone related to the owners, like a family member. Related parties can also be subsidiaries of the parent company that's reporting or a joint venture.

Any entity which can have a significant influence on the policies of the reporting business or have direct ownership is considered a related party.

The most common related-party transactions are done between a parent company and its subsidiaries. The list of potential related parties includes shareholder groups and business affiliates.

A related-party transaction is any purchase or agreement made between two related entities.
