A holding company, a second operating entity, a property or IP company: each needs its own clean books, and the group needs a view that adds them up without counting the same money twice. Done by hand in a spreadsheet, it is slow and it is usually wrong somewhere.
It is rebuilt every month, nobody else can check it, and an error survives until somebody reruns it.
A management fee from parent to subsidiary inflates both revenue and cost at group level.
The consolidated view is never a picture of one moment.
What an engagement includes depends on scope. These are the parts that come up most.
Each one closes on the same calendar, so the group view is of a single point in time.
Charges and loans between entities are tagged and removed, and what was removed is shown.
