In some cases, aggregation of similar transactions by type of related party may be appropriate. Sometimes, the effect of the relationship between the parties may be so pervasive that disclosure of the relationship alone will be sufficient. If necessary to the understanding of the relationship, the name of the related party shall be disclosed. ##### [850-10-50-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/850/10/#850-10-50-4) Pending content: no Source downloaded (UTC): 2026-09-10T02:02:30.415Z to 2026-09-10T02:02:30.415Z Record version: sha256:1c7fc6b6ad091f67f1c54a156f1004d80978f54d5ff965785c6519ef0900868c Snapshot version: sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. #### Control Relationships ##### [850-10-50-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/850/10/#850-10-50-6) Pending content: no Source downloaded (UTC): 2026-09-10T02:02:30.415Z to 2026-09-10T02:02:30.415Z Record version: sha256:27aa4a34c6672c1a90a6926f46b86c9152255fc1e46662c35882546c9489d36a Snapshot version: sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps. If the reporting entity and one or more other entities are under common ownership or [management](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/m/#management "Persons who are responsible for achieving the objectives of the entity and who have the authority to establish policies and make decisions by which those objectives are to be pursued. Management normally includes members of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, chief operating officer, vice presidents in charge of principal business functions (such as sales, administration, or finance), and other persons who perform similar policy making functions. Persons without formal titles also may be members of management.") [control](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#control "The possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity through ownership, by contract, or otherwise.") and the existence of that control could result in operating results or financial position of the reporting entity significantly different from those that would have been obtained if the entities were autonomous, the nature of the control relationship shall be disclosed even though there are no transactions between the entities.
