Data is loaded into the child entities and through Curveline consolidation engine data will be aggregated through the organization.

Consolidation can be launched has a batch process using the curveline batch engine. Consolidation can run for a single period or for multiple periods and rollups.

When the consolidation starts the following process is executed:
. User defined logic will run based on input and adjustment data in the input currency
. The data is translated to the destination currency
. The parent adjustments entered in the destination currency will be aggregated

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is a set of accounting standards, developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that is becoming the global standard for the preparation of public company financial statements.

International Financial Reporting Standards remove some of the subjectivity from financial reporting and provide a consistent basis for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of transactions and events in financial statements. In recent past, there have been cases where companies reporting under IFRS in Europe record a loss but when these same companies re-state their accounts according to US GAAP they record a profit.

Convergence of accounting standards will have the effect of attracting investment through greater transparency and a lower cost of capital for potential investors. In recent times Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to raise money and get them listed on stock exchanges as they were not following the standard in accordance with IFRS. Differences in accounting practice make it difficult for investors, whether individual or institutional, to compare the financial results of different companies and make investment decisions.
