Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Foreign Subsidiary

A foreign subsidiary is a business entity located in a country different from the parent company’s headquarters, where the parent company holds a controlling interest. This arrangement allows the parent company to expand its operations internationally while maintaining control over the subsidiary’s activities. The foreign subsidiary definition is crucial for understanding cross-border business structures and financial reporting.
