Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the most common questions about intercompany reconciliation and group accounting.
Why do intercompany balances often not agree?
Intercompany differences arise from timing, cut-off issues, currency translation, missed postings, or different accounting treatments across group entities. Identifying the root cause is the first step to resolving them. ABM Chartered Accountants investigates and clears each discrepancy systematically rather than simply forcing balances to agree.
What are intercompany eliminations and why are they needed?
Intercompany eliminations remove transactions between group entities from the consolidated financial statements. Without them, revenue, costs, and balances would be double-counted, overstating the group’s true financial position. Correct eliminations are a fundamental requirement under both IFRS and FRS 102 for consolidated accounts.
How often should intercompany reconciliations be performed?
Best practice is to perform intercompany reconciliations monthly, aligned with your management accounts cycle. This prevents differences from accumulating and makes the year-end consolidation significantly faster and less complex. ABM Chartered Accountants can manage this process on your behalf each period.
Can you help with IFRS intercompany reconciliation requirements?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants handles intercompany reconciliation for groups reporting under IFRS as well as UK GAAP. We apply the correct consolidation adjustments and eliminations under the applicable standard, ensuring your group accounts are technically compliant and ready for external audit.
What is transfer pricing reconciliation and do I need it?
Transfer pricing reconciliation ensures that transactions between group entities are priced on arm’s length terms and correctly recorded in each entity’s accounts. If your group has cross-border or intercompany trading relationships, transfer pricing compliance is important for both tax and accounting accuracy.
Can ABM Chartered Accountants manage our full intercompany process?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants can manage your full intercompany reconciliation on an outsourced basis, either monthly or at period end. We work alongside your existing finance team or operate as a standalone function, delivering reconciled group accounts to your required timetable each period.
