Solution

The correct answer is a. The accounting policy of the group.

Here's why:

When consolidating financial statements, the parent company combines its financial statements with those of its subsidiaries. In this process, the parent company must adjust the financial statements of its subsidiaries to align with its own accounting policies. This is to ensure consistency and comparability across the group. Therefore, even if a subsidiary adopts a different basis for measuring property, plant, and equipment assets, upon consolidation, the financial statements must reflect the accounting policy of the group.
