Debtors owes some money to creditors

creditors owes money to debtors

both are eliminated in a group transaction on consolidated balance sheet by passing entry creditors a/c dr to debtors 

 

Mutual Owing:Any amount due to a subsidiary co. from its holding co. or any amount due to a holding co. from its subsidiary co.

 

Reason for deducting mutual owings: When u prepare consolidated balance sheet, u have to actually treat the holding co. & its subsidiary as a single entity. The owings between holding co. & its subsidiary doesnt have any effect on the combined assets & liabilities of the holding co. & its subsidiary. Such owings just inflate the debtors & creditors, & should be deducted. U have to only include the owings to & from outsiders.
