Limited Companies
Akopọ
A limited company is owned by its shareholders but treated by the law as a separate person in its own right. That single idea changes everything. The shareholders can lose only what they invested, the company can raise large sums by selling shares, and it carries on even when its owners change. In return the accounts become a little richer, because the profit now belongs to many owners and the law wants to see exactly how it is shared and kept.
In this lesson you will learn the capital structure of a company: ordinary and preference shares, general reserve, retained earnings and the debentures it borrows. You will prepare the company income statement, the statement of changes in equity that shows how the profit is used, and the statement of financial position with its distinctive equity section. Every figure ties together, so you can follow the profit from the income statement through to the equity that belongs to the shareholders.
