To avoid situations where it does not get double counted, and present fairly the financial statements, from the perspective of “single economic entity” concept when presenting consolidated financial statements.

The principle used to eliminate such transactions is: “Asset of one entity and liability of another gets cancelled on consolidation.

GOODS IN TRANSIT & CASH IN TRANSIT – IFR 15 On the date of reporting, when we count the inventories or reconcile trade payables and trade receivables and have a closer look at transactions within group, we get to know that inventory is missing, or cash is not received by parent or subsidiary for intra group transactions.

One party has delivered goods, but the other seems to be unaware of it and have not recorded it as part of their books.

One party has paid cash, but the other seems to have not received it and have not recorded the receipt of cash.

GOODS IN TRANSIT & CASH IN TRANSIT – IFR 15 The goods in transit are assumed to be had been delivered and cash in transit are assumed to have been received.

GOODS IN TRANSIT Parent has a trade receivable of Rs. 50,000 and Subsidiary has a Trade payable of Rs. 40,000.

All the purchases of subsidiary are made from Parent.

It is a case of Goods in transit, goods are delivered by Parent, so they recorded Rs. 10,000 increasing the receivable, but the same goods have not been received by subsidiary, the reason for lower trade payables.

So, we assume, as if the goods have been delivered resulting in increasing the inventory & trade payables.
