Map and working session
Group consolidation mapping
A group close can be technically complete and still unreadable. This engagement draws the structure of the pack: which entities feed which lines, where non-controlling interests sit, which eliminations are mechanical and which still depend on a reconciliation that has not landed.
The map is used in a working session with the group reporting lead. We mark unmatched intercompany, currency translation that has moved more than the underlying trade, and any subsidiary whose reporting date or framework differs from the parent. The session is not a training course; it is a reading of this close. Out of scope: designing a new chart of accounts, implementing ledgers, or restating prior years unless that restatement is already in the draft.
Send the entity list, functional currencies, and the latest consolidation workbook, even if the eliminations tab is still unfinished.
