You're talking consolidations here. In preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. In order that the consolidated financial statements present financial information about the group as that of a single economic entity, the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary are eliminated. Intragroup balances and transactions, including income, expenses and dividends, are eliminated in full. Profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full.
All the accounting entries needed to carry out the above eliminations are known as eliminating entries.

I think they are the entries at year end to eliminate the income & expense accounts and to allocate them to the capital/retained earnings account
