Although ASC 810-10-55-4H refers to a journal entry, it is neither a consolidation entry
nor is it a journal entry in the books of the parent company. The entry depicts the consequences
to the group of the sale as can be seen from combining the parent’s journal entry and the
consolidation entry. The fact that this is called a journal entry in ASC 810-10-55-4H has led to
the examples given in the current literature recording the partial sale incorrectly in the books of
the parent. The resulting consolidation entry does result in the group financial statements
correctly treat the partial sale as an equity transaction.
