Equitable chose an equity carve-out method for DLJ. This would allow them to retain at least 50% of the equity of the subsidiary, so it could still consolidate its financial statements as well as file a consolidated tax return.

Costco Wholesale is recognized as the largest wholesale club operator in the US. Over the three-year time period of 2002-2004, this company has expanded its membership base while increasing its number of warehouses both in the U.S. and internationally. In 2004 alone, net sales increased 13.1% over the prior year, driven by an increase in comparable sales of 10% and the opening of twenty new warehouses; net income increased for fiscal 2004 by 22.4%, or $1.85 per diluted share; and for the first time, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend, with the company issuing quarterly dividends in the third and fourth quarters of $0.10 per share.

Consolidation can even be applicable if both firms remain as separate legal entities/ corporations.

No further consolidation procedures are necessary since accounts are brought together

The case centers on actual events that occurred in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans from 2001 to 2009. In 2008, the archdiocese announced that it had lost more than $100 million as a result of Hurricane Katrina — because insurance failed to cover all its property losses. Those losses had no bearing on the parish a closure, the church says. Not all the faithful are convinced. Later released prospectus indicated that the Archdiocese paid over $10 million directly from its own assets to settle claims of sexual abuse, and these payments were not part of financial statement or notes. Due to unauthorized expenditure parishioners and media questioned about Good Counsel’s. Good Counsel’s parishioners were very
