Accounting

You, the group accountant, have just finished preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2020. Mrs Jones, CEO of Melbourne Ltd, is not an accountant and she doesnt understand why you had to make some adjustments before you prepare the consolidated accounts.
