Italian term

a fronte dell'assunzione

Italian to English Bus/Financial Accounting
Appears in some explanatory notes in the section on consolidation criteria.

"Il valore contabile delle partecipazioni detenute dalla società Capogruppo incluse nell'area di consolidamento viene eliminato contro il relativo patrimonio netto **a fronte dell'assunzione** delle attività e delle passività delle società partecipate secondo il metodo dell'integrazione globale."

Thanks in advance!

in view of the inclusion

"The book value of the interests held by the Parent included within the scope of consolidation is offset against the respective net equity in view of the inclusion of the assets and liabilities of the companies held using the full consolidation method."

In other words, to avoid counting the holdings twice, one of the entries is eliminated.

agree James (Jim) Davis : While the post is right, IMHO there are serious flaws in the rest of the translation. The investments in the subsidiary are eliminated as is the equity of the subsidiary, this is not really offsetting. Also "net equity"? net of what? Question was rhetor..

It's likely "net shareholders' equity" but I'd need to see the full balance sheet. If you include the assets & liabilities in the consolidation, you exclude them from equity, which is where minority interests would otherwise be recorded.
neutral FinWord : We are talking about line-by-line consolidation of subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements vs. recognition of those companies in the separate (parent co) financial statements. Non-controlling (or minority) interests are a separate issue

The sentence needs to be reworked and the specific term you are seeking a translation for will probably "drop out".

In the financial statements of the parent company (stand alone), investments in subsidiaries and associates etc. are recognized under non-current assets.

In the consolidated financial statements, for subsidiaries consolidated on a line-by-line basis (i.e., fully consolidated) the assets and liabilities are recognized (and not the value of the investment/shareholding).

"For consolidated subsidiaries, the book value (carrying amount) of the equity interest in the investee is ELIMINATED (consolidation requires certain eliminations) and the assets and liabilities are recognized on a line-by-line basis."
