Verified Expert

Consolidation is the process wherein all of the transactions that take place between two subsidiaries of the same company are eliminated. this is done since there is no sense in showing the profits or losses of the different entities when they would be clubbed when the balance sheet of the group is prepared. hence, these entries become net 0 when these are clubbed together at the group level. Hence, it is very imperative to combine these at the group level.
