Ancillary and Subsidiary (AS) Reporting Units
Ancillary and Subsidiary units are not all set up in the same way. In some cases they are fully 'on' the main UCD financial systems such as eFinancials, but in other cases they are only partly represented on eFinancials or do not exist at all.
For simplicity, for consolidation of summary plans and forecasts, a simple hierarchy of Ancillary and Subsidiary (AS) units has been created. This does not necessarily correspond directly to a legal entity basis or to how the entities are set up on other systems. It is simply the structure that we are using for collating summary financial information for consolidation in Plans and Outturns.
A listing of the units and the relevant accountants is available here.
