It also sets the five conditions that permit proportionate (undivided interest) presentation of an investment in real property.","concepts":["controlling financial interest","general partnership control","limited partnership consolidation","substantive participating rights","equity method","undivided interest presentation","variable interest entity","interentity profit elimination"],"categories":["Consolidation","Presentation","Industry-specific","Recognition"],"level":"intermediate","topic_title":"Consolidation","sections":[{"number":"00","label":"00 Status","anchor":"00-status","is_sec":false,"groups":[{"block":null,"heading":null,"paragraphs":[{"citation":"810-970-00-1","para":"00-1","html":"<div class=\"asc-body\"><div class=\"norm-text\">The following table identifies the changes made to this Subtopic.</div><div class=\"norm-text\"><table class=\"asc-table\" id=\"SL63492560-161863\"><tr><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Paragraph</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Action</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Accounting Standards Update</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Date</strong></td></tr><tr><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td></tr><tr><td class=\"entry\"><a href=\"/glossary/o/#ordinary-course-of-business\" class=\"term\" title=\"Decisions about matters of a type consistent with those normally expected to be addressed in directing and carrying out current business activities, regardless of whether the events or transactions that would necessitate such decisions are expected to occur in the near term.

real-estate-specific consolidation guidance layered on top of ASC 810-10. It explains when an investor controls a general or limited partnership that holds real estate (majority voting interest, or majority of profit/loss interests when voting interests are unclear), when substantive participating rights of other partners overcome the presumption of control, and when a noncontrolling investor instead uses the equity method. It also sets the five conditions that permit proportionate (undivided interest) presentation of an investment in real property.","key_points":["A general partnership controlled directly or indirectly by an investor is in substance a subsidiary; ownership of over 50 percent of voting shares points toward consolidation, and if partnership voting interests are not clearly indicated, ownership of a majority of the financial interests in profits or losses usually indicates control (810-970-25-1).","Control may exist with less than a majority ownership by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders or partners, or court decree (810-970-25-1).","The presumption of control by the majority interest holder is overcome if other partners hold substantive participating rights over significant financial and operating decisions made in the ordinary course of business, evaluated under 810-10-25-2 through 25-14 (810-970-25-2).","A controlling investor accounts for the investment under the principles applicable to investments in subsidiaries and eliminates interentity profits and losses on assets remaining within the group; a noncontrolling investor in a general partnership uses the equity method under Topic 323 (810-970-25-2).","For a limited partnership that is not a VIE under 810-10-15-14, limited partners assess a controlling financial interest under 810-10-15-8A: if no single partner controls, general and limited partners apply the equity method (except an interest so minor that the limited partner has virtually no influence, see 323-30-S99-1); if a single limited partner controls, that partner consolidates (810-970-25-3).","Proportionate (undivided interest) presentation of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses is permitted only if the property is owned by undivided interests, approval of two or more owners is not required for financing/development/sale/operating decisions, each investor is entitled to only its pro rata share of income, pays only its pro rata share of expenses, and is severally liable only for debt it incurs (810-970-45-1)."],"categories":["Consolidation","Presentation","Industry-specific","Recognition"],"audience_level":"intermediate","student_note":"Real estate ventures are the classic setting for partnership consolidation questions: a majority profits interest can signal control when voting interests are unclear, but substantive participating rights held by other partners defeat consolidation.

several (not joint) liability, are met.","related_topics":["810-10","323-30","970-323","970-10","323-10"],"key_concepts":["controlling financial interest","general partnership control","limited
