Parent Company owns 80% of a subsidiary called Child Company. You want the Net Income account in the Income Statement to flow properly into the Net Asset account in the Balance Sheet. You also want data to roll up to the parent company with adjustments based on ownership.

The system account, Minority Interest Adjustment, automatically calculates the minority interest and subtracts it from the Net Income (Pre-Adj) value at the parent level rollup. Example: If Parent owns 80% of Child, the system account multiplies the Net Income value by 20%, reducing the value for the Parent rollup.
