Choose a publicly traded consolidated group and identify the types of activities that would have to be eliminated in preparing its consolidated financial statements. Do not provide an initial post about a company that one of your classmates has already posted on. Your initial post should be between 250 and 500 words, and should contain at least one outside reference other than the textbook. All posts should be grammatically correct. Participate in follow-up discussion by providing additional information about another post, asking questions, or responding to questions posed by your classmates or instructor.
