Filed under: Intercompany

Hi David, I work with a non-profit (501 c 3 ) organization that contracts marketing and some financial oversight to a UK company. We deal with international trade.
We take great measures to maintain arms distance. But, recently one of my staff called the companies relationship “intercompany” when it came to invoices. I don’t see how we can use this term if we are to strive for the arms-distance. Am I making a big deal out of something or should we avoid this term???
The invoice to this other entity is only Intercompany if you and that other entity are owned/controlled by a common ‘parent’. From what you tell me this seems not to be the case, so I’m not sure you need to worry.
In this post I define Intercompany as:
InterCompany Transactions are between two or more related internal legal entities with common control, i.e. in the same enterprise (Inter = Latin for “BETWEEN”)
