Lesson: Consolidation of Equity Investments - Voting Interest Model

Consolidation of Equity Investments - Voting Interest Model thumbnail

In this lesson, Nick Palazzolo, CPA, breaks down the consolidation method of equity investments under the voting interest model. He elucidates how ownership of more than 50% in another entity translates into a controlling interest, and how this necessitates the reporting of a non-controlling interest for the portion not owned. With practical examples, Nick clarifies the roles of the investor and investee within this paradigm, explaining the parent-subsidiary relationship and the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The goal is to provide a solid foundational understanding of how and when to apply the consolidation method, setting the stage for more in-depth discussions in subsequent lessons.
