Financial statements that reflect the total economic entity. For example, on a consolidated income statement a corporation having several subsidiaries would report the total of all of its companies’ sales that were made to customers outside of its group. (Sales to companies within its group of related companies would be excluded as well as the purchases within its group.) A consolidated balance sheet would report the combined assets except for claims against companies within its group. Liabilities would be combined except for amounts owed to companies within its group.

"It's hard to pick a starting place to extol the virtues, usefulness, and timeliness of Accounting Coach Pro. I can truthfully say I would pay a good deal more for a subscription having become familiar with its value. I have enjoyed reviewing basic concepts as well as more advanced topics in the easy formats and downloads. Accounting is a second career for me. I was in public accounting for about 9 years and have been a government finance director since 2001. In addition to personal benefit I have found Mr. Averkamp's work extremely useful in training subordinates and making recommendations to students. I applaud Accounting Coach Pro and its creator and give the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a constant tutorial companion or just a good refresher." - Dorrance R.
