About Consolidation Group

Consolidation Group is a structural or hierarchical representation of the Company Ownership records where the Ownership Category field is set to "Control". The relationship between the companies is defined by factors such as company ownership, investments, and investors.

You can distinguish between the Company Ownership records by the type of ownership, percentage, and time. We also support tracking changes to these fields for audit purposes or to view the status of an ownership at a given time.

For a full list of the fields in the Company Ownership record, see Company Ownership Fields.
