Group
A group is an economic entity formed by two or several companies, intended to be permanent, in which one company, i.e. the parent company alone or together with other companies in the same group exercises control over the other companies in the group, i.e. subsidiaries. The control is formed if the share of voting power held from a subsidiary exceeds 50 per cent, or the parent company has some other actual control over the subsidiary; for example, an agreement related with ownership.

A group can consist of small as well as big companies. Also the judicial company form has no significance. A joint-stock company, cooperative, limited partnership or partnership can be part of a group or the parent company. The group has no legal jurisdiction, and it is not liable to tax. The corporate relations on the group structure screen:

Main group
The group to which the parent company of the group under examination belongs as a subsidiary.

Parent company
The company, which is the administrative parent company in the group. This company exercises control over the other companies in the group, either alone or together with several companies.

Subsidiary
A company is a subsidiary, if another company exercises control over it. In practice, the other company has to hold over 50 per cent of the voting power of the subsidiary.

Subgroup
If a subsidiary forms a group, i.e. the subsidiary exercises control over at least one company, this is called a subgroup.

Joint venture
A joint venture is a domestic or foreign enterprise, in which two companies owns it in equal shares (50% + 50%).

Associated company
An associated company is a domestic or foreign company, in which another company exercises considerable influence in leading the business and financing operations. A company is considered an associated company if the other company holds a minimum of 20% and a maximum or 50% of the voting power in this company.

An associated company is not part of the group. However, the amount from the associated company’s profit or loss and the change in share capital, corresponding to the share of ownership of the group companies, has to be brought into the consolidated financial statements from the financial statements of an associated company. If the associated company is new, the acquisition costs from the shares or participations have to be entered into the consolidated balance sheet.

Participating interest undertaking
A participating interest undertaking is a domestic or foreign company which is not part of the group of companies but in which the other company either alone or together with several companies has a shareholding that creates a permanent connection and is meant to promote the operations of the owning company or a company which is part of the same group.

A company is a participating interest undertaking, if the other company’s shareholding in this company is a minimum of 20 per cent. However, no minimum has been defined for the shareholding, so a company may be a participating interest undertaking even if the other company held less than 20 per cent.

Participating interest undertakings are not included in the consolidated financial statements. An indication of business transactions carried out between the company and its participating interest undertakings, such as financial income and expenses, receivables and debts as well as investments, has to be included in the profit and loss account, balance sheet and the notes to the accounts.
