Schedule 6 to the Accounting Regulations requires the elimination of intragroup transactions in the preparation of group accounts. In particular:

(a) the elimination of 'debts and claims' and 'income and expenditure' relating to transactions between undertakings included in the consolidation; and

(b) the elimination of 'profits and losses' on such transactions to the extent that they are included in the book value of assets'. This elimination is specifically permitted to be in proportion to the group's interest in the shares of the undertakings (although FRS 102 restricts this and states that profits and losses must be eliminated in full).

It is noteworthy that the required eliminations are only in respect of undertakings included in the consolidation. They are not extended to subsidiaries excluded from consolidation. Also, elimination is not required where the amounts are not material for the purpose of giving a true and fair view.

Our accountant has informed me that we need to eliminate the intra-group transactions before we prepare the consolidated financial statements. I don’t understand why we need to record these transactions in the first place, when we end up eliminating them. I don’t have an accounting background, but it makes sense not to record these transactions in any books when we end up deleting them in the worksheet later?
