Hi,
I was using last year's course notes, but I looked at the 2009/2010 updates on the course notes, I noticed there are changes regarding the treatment of approval of dividends in income statement. I understand that once dividends are paid, it will be deducted from the cash balance and retained earnings. So So I think here "paid" means approval of dividend?
But what about dividend proposed? It only needs to be mentioned in the notes and no need to include it in the accounts, is that right?
By looking at the CMP upgrade, I'm confused as to "approved", "paid" and "proposed" and how they affect the income statements and balance sheet.
I'd really appreciate alot if anyone can help to clarify for me. Thanks heaps.
