SUBSIDIARY
Entity controlled by a holding firm or parent company by owning more than 50% of its voting stock. This company is partially or wholly owned by another firm which holds a controlling interest in the subsidiary firm. If the principal firm owns a foreign subsidiary, the company must adhere to the laws of the country where the subsidiary operates. The parent firm still carries the foreign subsidiaries’ financials on its books. Subsidiaries are considered distinct legal entities for the sake of liability, taxation, and regulation.
