"Controlling financial interest is defined as an investment of 50% or more of
the voting equity of another entity. Therefore, in accordance with ARB 51, a
company that holds 50% or more of the voting equity of an affiliate is viewed
as the controlling parent company and should include the affiliate (or
affiliated group) in its consolidated financial statements" (CPA Journal).
Pushdown accounting is a method of accounting in which you account for the
purchase price rather than the historical cost. It is important to consider
whether or not you will result in higher or lowers costs. Because you are not
looking at historical data, it is important to review the value of assets and
liabilities you are getting prior to making the purchase.*
