Aggregation

1. Financial reporting - accounting practices.

One of the key stages in the preparation of consolidated group accounts. Aggregation is the adding up of the individual assets, liabilities and trading of each of the entities in the group.

The other key stage in this process is the making of consolidation adjustments.

2. Reporting - risk reporting.

Any other process of adding up relevant items, for reporting or other purposes.
