Consolidated Financial Statements

AS 6592 views 6 replies

Dear all

 

"Listed Companies must prepare Consolidated Financial Statements as per SEBI guidelines. For other Companies AS 21 is not mandatory. But standard itself says that when any company wants to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements, they must follow AS 21 ."

This is one post i found from the path Discussion > Accounts > Consolidated Financial Statements Contents from this site.

 

But can anyone tell me where is it stated that a private company which is holding company of other company is not mandatorily required to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Manisha

Companies act no where specifies about Consolidation of Financial Statements.

 

As said by you due to the SEBI guidelines the listed companies prepare CFS.

 

SEBI guidelines are not generally applicable to Private Limited companies and other unlisted companies so AS 21 does not apply. AS 13 has to followed for valuing investments.

Thank you Mr.Praveen.

 

I already know whatever you said. I also could find this kind of details anywhere and hence asked if anyone can quote me the exact law, act or guidance note or any other authorised source from where it can be found..

 

Anyway thanks.

 

But if someone can give me a specific answer, it will be very useful.

exactly thats what i am trying to say there is nothing specific stated

 

thanks

Can anyone pls solve ???? its very urgent ????

Kindly see bottom note to AS 21 at page 2 of both MCA and CA AS 21 it clearly says as follows:

 

 

"It is clarified that AS 21 is mandatory if an enterprise presents consolidated financial
statements. In other words, the accounting standard does not mandate an enterprise to
present consolidated financial statements but, if the enterprise presents consolidated
financial statements for complying with the requirements of any statute or otherwise, it
should prepare and present consolidated financial statements in accordance with AS"

Some of the firms out there that provide advice on preparing parts of the annual and consolidated financial statements for publication and advise on the presentation of the financial statements to credit institutions or other recipients.
