Abstract
The “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 41-Disclosure of Rights and Interests in Other Entities” promulgated in China in 2014 proposed the concept of “structured entities”, and the 2014 revised “Enterprise Accounting Standards No. 33-Consolidated Financial Statements” made clear a single control-based consolidation model for all entities, and stated that “structured entities” controlled by the parent company should be included in the scope of consolidation of the company’s financial statements. The introduction of the concept of “structured entities” and changes in related standards have placed new requirements on accounting theory researchers and practical staff. The article reviews related research on what is a “structured entities” and its similar special purpose entities and variable interest entities.
