associate company
Definition
Firm over which another firm exercises a degree of control which is less than the degree of control exercised over a subsidiary. In accounting, such control is typically taken to mean the ownership of at least 20 percent of voting shares, and some say in the management of the associate firm. Associated companies usually have interlocking directorates to ensure they have common policies and complementary objectives.
