  Revising GAAP for consolidations: join the debate. (generally accepted accounting principles)
The purpose of consolidated statements is to present, primarily for the benefit of the shareholders and creditors of the parent company, the results of operations and the financial position of a parent company and its subsidiaries essentially as if the group were a single company with one or more branches or divisions.
Proponents of the parent company concept are more likely to take a strict majority-ownership approach than their economic unit counterparts, who look to ownership as evidence of the ability to control rather than as a separate condition for consolidation.
Parent company proponents are likely to jump off sooner because the ownership benefits diminish as ownership levels drop, even if the minority owner is still in control.

The critical question, according to the Supreme Court, is whether “in degree and detail” the parent company took actions that are “eccentric” under accepted norms of parental oversight of a subsidiary’s facility.
The Supreme Court recognized that it is “entirely appropriate” for directors and officers of a parent company to serve in that capacity for a subsidiary, and that the dual roles alone could not expose the parent to liability for its subsidiary’s acts.
They will likely focus on whether the parent company managed or directed activities at the subsidiary’s facility and whether the actions of the dual officers were consistent with the norms of corporate behavior.
