Bus/Financial | | Portuguese term or phrase: ...dispensada no tratamento das contas de resultados, participações e ... | the complete phrase is...considerando a condução apropriada por X dispensada no tratamento das contas de resultados, participações e relacionamentos entre controladoras, controladas e participadas.
Would you also be so kind as to help me with the word "participadas" -- Thanks, Thomas |
| | | English translation:(companies) in which a participatory interest is held (by X) | Explanation:
A "(companhia) controladora" is a (company) that controls the company or entity in question (in this case, "X"), and a "(companhia) controlada" is a (company) that is controlled by X.
The use of "control-" implies a holding or interest of more than 50%, so that the activities of the controlled company are determined absolutely by the controlling entity. Conversely, in this context, a "(companhia) participada" is one in which X holds a participatory, but not controlling, interest -- that is, an interest of less than 50%.
(If this business of companies controlling, and being controlled, by others strikes you as byzantine, just glance through the doorstop-sized U.S. Government publication "Interlocking Directorates of Major Corporations"!)
