Upstream Transaction

An upstream transaction occurs when a subsidiary sells goods or services to its parent company. In consolidated financial statements, unrealised profits from such transactions must be eliminated to avoid overstating group income. Proper treatment ensures the consolidated accounts reflect only profits earned from external parties.
