    Hi,

    We introduce it as a balancing figure to get the fundamental concept of control understood but then look at it in more depth where we explain that it is calculated as 100% of the parent’s RE plus P’s share of S’s post acquisition movement, thus showing the ownership in the equity section.

    Thanks
