The noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is part of the
equity of the consolidated group.

consolidated statement of financial position within equity
(net assets), separately from the parent’s equity (or net
assets). That amount shall be clearly identified and
labeled, for example, as noncontrolling interest in
subsidiaries (see paragraph 810-10-55-4I). An entity with
noncontrolling interests in more than one subsidiary may
present those interests in aggregate in the consolidated
financial statements. A not-for-profit entity shall report
the effects of any donor-imposed restrictions, if any, in
accordance with paragraph 958-810-45-1.

Only either of the following can be a noncontrolling
interest in the consolidated financial statements:
-

-
A financial instrument (or an embedded feature) issued by a parent or a subsidiary for which the payoff to the counterparty is based, in whole or in part, on the stock of a consolidated subsidiary, that is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock in the consolidated financial statements of the parent and that is classified as equity.
