Minority Interest
Many NetSuite clients have a partial ownership interest in some or all of their subsidiaries – companies that must be included in their consolidated financial reports. Standard NetSuite OneWorld does not automate the accounting adjustments required to account for the minority interest and accurately report consolidated financials. Nor does it allocate gains and losses when a subsidiary is partially owned by more than one entity within your enterprise. As a result, many large NetSuite clients spend significant time manually calculating and entering the necessary adjustments.
The Minority Interest module is designed to eliminate the monthly spreadsheet wrestling match required to calculate, enter and import these adjusting entries every reporting period. The module calculates and books the adjustments so that standard NetSuite’s standard financial reporting can be used to produce accurate consolidated Income Statements, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow Statements.
