Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / Investment | | French term or phrase: ) une amélioration des sociétés mises en équivalence (20 MF contre 15 MF) | Investment report on company's performance.

Still talking about implementation of a new financial reporting system, this time with respect to reporting for
subsidiaries, Joint Ventures, etc.:
"Les sociétés Mise En Equivalence (MEE) sont non suivies en gestion."

| an improvement of the consolidated companies
Explanation:
In the LGDT "mise en équivalence" is translated "equity method" which is no good as a verb.
From what I read on various sites, the "mise en équalence" is the equity method by which the results of partly owned companies are integrated into the mother company result.
When the "participation" passes a threshold (say 60%)the result of the daughter company must be fully consolidated.
Mise en équivalence would then be some kind of partial consolidation.
But I am not sure the English term is "consolidation", so someone could contribute more information.
