The financial year of Jeckle Ltd ends on 30 June each year. The directors of Heckle Ltd argue that they are not required under AASB 10 to include Jeckle Ltd as a subsidiary in Heckle Ltds consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2019 as there is no conclusive evidence that Heckle Ltd can control the financial and operating policies of Jeckle Ltd. The auditors of Heckle Ltd disagree, referring specifically to past years voting figures.

Required:

Provide a report to Heckle Ltd on whether it should regard Jeckle Ltd as a subsidiary in its preparation of consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2019.
