Section 614DE: Parent undertakings and consolidated group accounts
923.This section sets out an assumption about consolidated accounts of companies which would count as “parent undertakings” for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 but are not required for accounting purposes to prepare consolidated accounts in accordance with GAAP. It is based on paragraph 28 of Schedule 12 to FA 1997.
924.Such companies are regarded for the purposes of Part 11A as having to draw up consolidated accounts whether or not they are actually required to do so for accounting purposes. So parent companies incorporated outside the United Kingdom are treated, for the purpose of identifying leases within Part 11A and calculating the rental income from them, as having to draw up consolidated accounts if they would not be so required for accounting purposes.
