Group means the group of companies consisting of holding company and its subsidiary companies.Parent company means the company which holds the majority of shares of other companies, i.e. subsidiary companies.Subsidiary company means the company whose majority of shares are held by the parent company.

No. of parent companies in a group
A group can have unlimited number of parent companies. But the ultimate parent company will be 1 only. For instance, A Ltd is the holding of B Ltd. and C Ltd. Similarly, Z Ltd is the holding of A Ltd. In this case, the group has two parent companies, i.e. A Ltd. which is the parent of B and C, and Z ltd. which is the parent of A Ltd. But the ultimate parent company will be 1 only i.e. Z Ltd.
Requirement of Intragroup transactions
Intra group transactions are notional from a group point of view because the income of one company is the expense of the other company having no effect on the profit and loss of the group. Hence, these transactions are required to be eliminated from the groups consolidated financial statements else it leads to incorrect view of the financial position of the group. (“Intra-group transactions: identifying differences | Sigma Conso”, 2018)
Realisation of profit on inventories transfers within the group
On inventories transferred within the group, the profit is realised when the inventories are sold to the external parties.
