    you haven’t gone wrong. Subsidiary to parent is the same logic as parent to subsidary.
    What is balance outstanding at year end… does this relate to the trade and receivable accounts

    Hi,

    Just looking at your comments for the following:

    Subsidiary Selling to Parent

    DR Revenue
    CR COS

    This is correct, after which you record the PUP adjustment which is:

    DR Cost of sales/retained earnings
    CR Inventory

    You’re on the right track, these adjustments can get confusing but just try and remember the treatment principle and do lots of practice questions

    Richieinspain, balance outstanding at year end, by that i’m saying if the transaction has taken place (inventory sold & bought), but the buying party havent paid for it and payment is still outstanding at y/end (this can be either that the buyer hasnt paid any money for the inventory, or part-paid the inventory, for example, bought goods worth $100, but only paid $50 so far).

    If i’m not mistaken then any balance outstanding between parent & subsidiary is deducted from Trade Payables & Trade Receivables?

    If so, then what about if balance is outstanding between parent & associate?
