    Consolidated Accounts - Urgent
    Hi,

    Can any one explain to me what maybe the consequences for not eliminating the sale of non current assets in intragroup transactions within the same group?

    I have tried to look for this information, but cannot seem to find it.

    Can anyone explain or give me links were the information is available?

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    You've posted this same thing like three times, which just gets confusing. You won't get an answer any more quickly that way. The difficulty is that this is actually a more advanced topic.

Consolidated elimination entries [ 1 Answers ]

We have intercompany sales of say $100,000 between 2 companies. The selling company has the sale of $100,000 and the purchasing company is setting up the $100k as an asset. How do you eliminate that in a consolidation? Thanks
