If B met all the conditions of a sibsidiary then revenue made from the sales of services to B should be eliminated from consolidated statements and A can book the salaries and related cost actually incurred in A books, under consolidation the group in considered as single entity

For Company A its an Income shown in the P&L and for B DPN Exps and balance in Asset either it can be shown separtely in Statement and grouping it together
