Reconcile Investments

You can use this function to print reconciliation reports that display details in the investment register up to and including a given date for owning companies.

The details in the investment register are reconciled against the values on the account for Investments in Subsidiaries in the period database. A verification is performed between the database and the period database. You can generate the reconciliation report for all companies that are marked as owners in the investment register.

The reconciliation report is divided into two parts. The first part reconciles the opening balances with the investments from previous years. The second part reconciles investments during the actual year. The total after each owning company are reconciled to the closing balance for the actual period.

The report is sorted according to consolidation method, and you select the consolidation method to view in the dropdown list box in the report window. For subsidiaries, the report is divided into sub-reports according to the Purchase, Proportional and New Value methods. For associated companies, the report is divided into sub-reports according to the Equity, Joint Venture and No eliminations methods.

Note that you can only use this function on legal units defined as parent companies. You enter period data regarding shareholdings and investments on the sub-units connected to the legal unit in the investment register. Then you reconcile the consolidated period values on the legal unit against the investment register.

For more information, see Reconcile Shareholdings and Investments.
