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.

  5. the capital structure of a limited company comprising preference share capital, ordinary share capital, general reserve and retained earnings.
  6. the features of ordinary share capital and loan capital (debentures).
  7. share capital: issued, called-up, and paid-up.
  8. how to prepare statements of profit or loss, statements of changes in equity and statements of financial position.
  9. how to make adjustments to financial statements as detailed in 5.1 (sole traders).

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

Almost every large business you can name is a limited company, from the shop on the corner that has incorporated to the multinational on the stock exchange. The reason is limited liability: people will invest in a business if the worst that can happen is losing their stake, but not if their house is on the line. Understanding company accounts means understanding how that investment is recorded, rewarded and protected, and it builds directly on the sole trader and partnership statements you already know.
