Managing Financial Sub-groups

You can manage financial sub-groups from an engagement's Trial Balance tab. You can add financial sub-groups to any existing financial group and then assign the sub-groups as needed. A sub-group displays on the same leadsheet as its parent group. Sub-groups also display on financial statements.

For consolidated engagements, the sub-groups list is shared across the parent and all subsidiary entities. If you create a group or subgroup in one subsidiary, it is available in the other subsidiaries as well. Groups and subgroups must be assigned at the subsidiary level.

Tip: If your firm has saved grouping list templates, you also have the option to replace the system-provided financial grouping list with one of the templates. See Using a Grouping List Template for more information.
