What is Takeover

This is where a company takes over another company by the acquisition of share or agreements or ownership with companies that have shares. When the company has a majority interest or owns all the share in another company, the controlled company then becomes a subsidiary company of the controlling company. It is now part of the controlling company and in the accounts there will be consolidated accounts.
