purpose or purposes for which the corporation was organized.
 Corporations Created by Special Laws or Charters. - created by special laws or charters shall be governed primarily by the
provisions of the special law or charter creating them or applicable to them, supplemented by the provisions of this Code,
insofar as they are applicable.

Other types of corporations

 Public corporations
- created for political or public purpose & connected with the administration of government. (e.g. barangay, cities,
provinces)
 Private Corporations
-are owned by individuals or other corporations for private purpose and benefit. (e.g. private corporations and
government-owned and controlled corporations)
 Open Corporations
- Shares of stocks are available to the public. (e.g. corporations whose shares are available in the stock exchange or
over the counter security brokers)
 Closed Corporations
- Shares of stocks are held by few individuals and ownership is not available to the public. (e.g. family
corporations)
 One Person (Sole) Corporation
– a corporation owned by one individual.
 Publicly Listed Corporations

  Corporation with specific term
– exists until expiration of its term. Can be shortened or extended

Steps in the Creation of a Corporation

STEP 1:
Promotion involves the process of bringing together the incorporators or the persons interested in the business,
procuring subscriptions or capital that leads to the incorporation of the corporation.
 Underwriters - investment banking or stockbrokers often facilitate the promotion and subsequent sale of
shares to prospective investors.

STEP 2:
Incorporation involves filing the articles of corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
together with treasurer’s affidavit, statement of financial position, certificate of bank deposit, and certificate as to
the name of the corporation; payment of filing and publication fees; and ultimately the issuance by the SEC of the
certificate of incorporation.
 Note: Generally, the corporation does not acquire its juridical personality until the SEC issues to it its
certificate of incorporation.

STEP 3:
Formal organization and commencement requires the adoption of by-laws and the election of the board of
directors (BOD) and of administrative officers including taking such other steps to enable it to transact the
legitimate business or accomplish the purpose for which it was created.
 Note: If a corporation does not formally organize and commence the transaction of its business within five
(5) years from the date of its incorporation, its corporate powers shall cease and the corporation shall be
deemed dissolved.
 However, if a corporation has commenced business but subsequently becomes continuously inoperative for a
period of at least five (5) years, the same shall be a ground for the suspension or revocation of its certificate of
incorporation.

Components of a Corporation
 Corporators - Corporators are those who compose a corporation, whether as stockholders or shareholders in a stock
corporation or as members in a nonstock corporation.
 Incorporators - are those stockholders or members mentioned in the articles of incorporation as originally
forming and composing the corporation and who are signatories thereto
 Note: Number and Qualifications of Incorporators. – Any person, partnership, association or corporation,
singly or jointly with others but not more than fifteen (15) in number, may organize a corporation for any lawful
purpose or purposes: Provided, That natural persons who are licensed to practice a profession, and partnerships or
associations organized for the share of the capital stock of the corporation. (6a) purpose of practicing a profession,
shall not be allowed to organize as a corporation unless otherwise provided under special laws. Incorporators who are
natural persons must be of legal age. Each incorporator of a stock corporation must own or be a subscriber to at least
one (1) share of the capital stock. A corporation with a single stockholder is considered a One Person Corporation as
described in Title XIII, Chapter III of this Code.
 Shareholders/Members -shareholders are corporators in stock corporation while members are corporators of a non-
stock corporation.
 Subscribers -are persons who have agreed to take and pay for original, unissued shares of a corporation formed or to
be formed.
 Director(s)/Trustee(s) -one (1) to fifteen (15). A one person corporation shall have one (1)
director/trustee. Every director must own at least one (1) share of voting stock.

Rights of a Shareholder
 Vote in elections for directors and on actions requiring shareholder approval.
 Share in company’s profits through the receipt of dividends.
 Preemptive right to keep the same percentage of ownership when new shares are issued.
 Residual claim to share in assets upon liquidation in proportion to their holdings.
Typical Records used by a corporation
1. Minutes book - Contains the minutes of the meetings of the directors and stockholders.
2. Stock and transfer book - A record of the names of shareholders, installments paid and unpaid by shareholders and
dates of payment, transfers of shares and dates thereof.
3. Shareholder’s ledger - Subsidiary record of share capital issued indicating the number of shares issued to each
shareholder.
4. Subscriber’s ledger - Subsidiary record of subscriptions made indicating the individual subscriptions of the
subscribers.

Classes of Shares in General

 Par value shares
 one in which a specific amount is fixed in the articles of incorporation and appearing on the certificate of
stock. This amount is the minimum issue price of the shares.
 Preference/preferred shares may be issued only as par value shares.
 No-par value shares
 one without any value appearing on the face of the certificate of stock. A no-par value share may have a
stated value which may be fixed in the articles of incorporation or by the board of directors or the
shareholders.
 However, the minimum stated value of a no-par share is five pesos (P5.00) and is deemed to be fully paid
when issued.
 Note that the following are not permitted to issue no-par value shares: (BPI-TB)
a. Banks
b. Public utilities
c. Insurance companies
d. Trust Companies; and
e. Building and Loan Associations
f. Pre-nedd companies
 Voting and Non-voting shares
 Ordinary Shares -entitle the holder to an equal pro-rata division of profits without any preference.
 Preference shares -entitle the holder to certain advantages or benefits over the holders of ordinary shares.
 Treasury shares – a share that has been issued by the corporation as fully paid and later reacquired but not retired.
Par value vis-à-vis Market value of shares
Par value is a nominal amount indicated on the share certificate and fixed in the articles of incorporation. Most
often than not, it is not the price at which the corporation sells the share though this amount reflects the
minimum issue price of the shares. The selling price of the share or its market value will be usually higher than a
share’s par value and is influenced by a number of factors, such as:
 Anticipated future earnings of the company
 Expected dividend rate per share
 Current financial position
 Current state of the economy
 Current state of the securities market
 /ACT1102
Shareholder’s Equity
 Share Capital
a. Ordinary Share Capital or Common Stock
b. Preference Share Capital or Preferred Stock
 Note: Trust Fund Doctrine mandates that the corporation must maintain its Legal Capital for the protection
of its creditors. It is not available for distribution to shareholders until the claims of corporate creditors are
satisfied.
 Legal Capital -is that portion of the contributed capital or the minimum amount of paid-in capital, which
must remain in the corporation for the protection of corporate creditors.
 In case of par value shares, legal capital is the aggregate par value of all issued and subscribed shares.
 In case of no-par shares, legal capital is the total consideration received by the corporation for the issuance of
its shares including the excess of issue price over the stated value.
 Share Capital Not Yet Fully Paid (Subscribed Share Capital)
 the portion of the authorized share capital that has been subscribed but not yet fully paid.
 Note: Subscription Receivable is a shareholders’ equity account. It is presented in the statement of financial
position as a deduction from the related subscribed ordinary shares; HOWEVER, when it is collectible within
twelve months from the date of statement of financial position, this is presented as current asset in the current
asset portion of the statement of financial position. Thus, it is ignored in the computation of Shareholder’s
equity.
 Share Premium or Additional Paid-In Capital
 the portion of the paid-in capital representing amounts paid by shareholders in excess of par. It may also
result from transactions involving treasury shares, retirement of shares, donated capital, share dividends and
any other “gain” on the corporation’s own share transactions.
 Other Appropriation Reserves
 These include revaluation and other reserves properly appropriated by the corporation. These items will
be discussed in the financial accounting courses.
 Accumulated Profits/Losses or Retained Earnings
 represent the component of the shareholders’ equity arising from the retention of assets generated from
profit-oriented activities of the corporation.

Accounting for Issuance of Shares

Measure of Capital When Issued:
a. With Par -credit share capital at par any excess to Share Premium
b. Without Par but with a Stated Value - Share Capital is credited at stated value with the excess to
Share Premium
Measure of the Consideration Received on the Issue of Share Capital
1. For Cash or Receivable -at Face value
2. For Non-Cash Consideration -at Fair Market Value (FMV) of non-cash or FMV of the shares issued
whichever is clearly determinable
3. For Services Rendered -at FMV of the services rendered or market value of the shares issued
whichever is clearly determinable

Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. (IFRS 13 par. 9)
 /ACT1102
Accounting for Delinquent Subscriptions
- When the subscriber fails to settle the subscriptions in full on the date specified in the subscription contract or in the call
made by the board of directors, the subscribed shares are declared delinquent.

 The remedy of the corporation in this case is to dispose of the shares in a public auction for the account of the
delinquent subscriber. These shares will be sold to the highest bidder -the person who is willing to pay the
“offer price” which includes the full amount of the subscription balance plus accrued interest, cost of
advertisement and expenses of auction sale in exchange for the smallest number of shares.

s ensuing financial problems. After complying with the legal procedures pertaining to delinquency sale, a public auction was held. The offer price is P12,000 including P5

750 shares

dder, agreeing to pay the full price of P12,000 for the smallest number of shares. Consequently, the 1,000 shares are deemed fully paid. Kanor, the original subscriber, gets 400 sh

 If there is no bidder, the corporation may bid for the delinquent shares and the total amount due shall be credited
as paid in full in the books of corporation. These shares shall be considered as treasury shares.

Accounting for Treasury Shares

 Treasury shares are shares of stock which have been issued and fully paid for, but subsequently reacquired by
the issuing corporation either by purchase, redemption, donation or through other lawful means. Such
shares may again be disposed of for a reasonable price fixed by the board of directors.
 Treasury share is reported as a deduction from total shareholders’ equity. (contra-equity account)
 The Cost Method is the preferred method of accounting for treasury shares. Under this method, treasury share is
recorded at cost of purchase regardless of whether it is acquired below or above par.
 The purchase of treasury shares does not decrease the number of shares issued; only the outstanding shares
decrease. Thus:
Authorized Shares - Unissued Shares = Issued Shares

Issued Shares = Outstanding Shares (without the presence of treasury)

Issued Shares = Outstanding Shares + Treasury Shares (with Treasury shares)

 Therefore, unless retired, treasury shares remain to be considered issued.

 Treasury share is always debited for the cost of the shares purchased or credited for the cost of the shares
reissued. Par value is ignored. If the reissue price exceeds the cost of the treasury, the excess over cost is not
regarded a “gain” but component of share premium (Share Premium-Treasury).
 On the other hand, if the cost exceeds the reissue price, the difference should be debited to share premium
-treasury to the extent of its balance. In the absence of any balance in this account, or if it has already been
depleted, the “loss” is debited to retained earnings.
 Observe that Retained Earnings account may be debited, but is never credited for treasury share transactions.
 Retirement of treasury shares.
 Cancel the carrying value of the share and the cost of treasury. The carrying value includes the Par and the
Share Premium at the time the shares were originally issued.
 /ACT1102
 The ordinary shares account and the share premium attaching to it when it was originally issued are debited and
the corresponding credit is the treasury share at cost. Any positive excess (excess debits over credits) is credited
to share premium account (Share Premium -Retirement). Any negative excess (excess credits over debits) is
debited to Retained Earnings.

Accounting for Donated Capital

- Contributions from shareholders are measured and recorded at Fair Market Value of the items received with the
credit going to a share premium account. If significant, separate share premium account may be set up designated as
Donated Capital.
- If the donation is in the form of shares of the corporation, the receipt of the donated shares is recorded by means of
memorandum entry only. The account share premium or donated capital is credited at the time the shares are to be reissued

Book value per share

- Book value per share represents the equity a shareholder has in the net assets of the corporation from owning one share.
- Book value per share formula:

Book value per share = Total Shareholder’s Equity ÷ No. of shares outstanding

Retained Earnings
- The account Retained Earnings represents the firm’s accumulated profit or loss, including prior-period adjustments less
the dividends declared and other amounts transferred to the contributed capital accounts.
- A debit balance in retained earnings account is referred to as a deficit.
1. Among the common transactions affecting retained earnings are summarized below in the form of increases
(credits) and decreases (debits) to the account.

 Dividends  Adjustments for

/ACT1102

2. The list is not exhaustive because the other items affecting retained earnings account will be dealt with in a
Financial Accounting course.
3. Appropriation of retained earnings - Retained earnings may be appropriated for legal and business reasons.
The account “Retained earnings - appropriated” shall be credited and debited from “Retained earnings -
unappropriated” account, with the total retained earnings account unaffected.
Business reason (voluntary) - a corporation may appropriate portion of retained earnings for valid business
reasons such as expansion or significant capital expenditures.
Business reason (contractual) - Long term debt contracts may restrict retained earnings as condition for
loan.
Legal reason - a corporation shall appropriate portion of its retained earnings equal to the cost of the
treasury shares it has reacquired.

21. Current Profit or Loss

1. At the end of each accounting period, closing entries are made to separate the effects of transactions of the
currents period with the ensuing period. The final closing entry in a corporation’s books transfers the
profit (credit balance in Profit or Loss Summary account) or loss (debit balance in Profit or Loss Summary
account) to the Retained Earnings Account.

22. Dividends
- A dividend is a distribution of corporate income to the shareholders on a pro rata basis. They are distributed out of
accumulated earnings of the corporation, except for a liquidating dividend which represents a return of the
shareholder’s investment.
- Dividends may take the form of cash, noncash assets (property dividends), scrip or liability dividends, or share
dividends (corporation’s own share capital or bonus issue).
The important dates concerning dividends are:
a. Date of Declaration. The date when the BOD formally approves and announces the dividend. This is date
that the reduction in retained earnings is recognized or recorded in the accounts.
b. Date of Record. A list of current shareholders who will be entitled to the dividend is prepared and the
dividend payment is based on this list. No journal entry is made on this date.
c. Date of Payment/Distribution. On this date, an entry is made to record the settlement of the dividend either by
payment of cash or distribution of noncash assets or the company’s own share.

1. Cash Dividends -this is the most common type of dividend. For a cash dividend to occur, a corporation must
have retained earnings and adequate cash to pay the dividend. It may be expressed as a percentage of the
par value or as a peso amount per share. On the date of declaration, a current liability is recognized in the
accounts with a corresponding charge (debit) to retained earnings or dividends account. If the latter account
is used, it is closed to retained earnings account at the end of the accounting period.
2. Property Dividends -dividend that is payable in assets rather than cash. Property dividend may also be in the
form of equity or debt securities held in other companies. Distribution of Treasury shares as dividends is
also considered as a property dividend and not as a share dividend.
3. Share Dividends (Bonus Issue) -is a pro rata distribution of a corporation’s own shares to its shareholders.
Unlike cash and property dividends, a bonus issue does not affect total assets and total shareholder’s
equity because it simply represents a transfer of capital from retained earnings to contributed capital.
a. Small Share Dividend -when the number of shares represents LESS THAN 20% of the shares
Of Theory and Page 4 of
Accounts
/ACT1102
previously outstanding, the basis of the measurement would be the current market value of the
additional shares to be issued.
b. Large Share Dividend -when the proportion of the additional shares issued is 20% OR MORE, the
amount capitalized is equal to the par or stated value of the share capital.
4. Scrip Dividends -this arises if a corporation has adequate retained earnings to meet the legal dividend
requirements but has insufficient funds to justify a current cash dividend.
The corporation then, declares a scrip dividend where it issues promissory notes -called scrip
-requiring the corporation to pay dividends at some future date. Scrip dividends usually carry interest,
and the interest that accrues on scrip dividends are recorded as interest expense.

Share splits
- A share split involves the issue of additional shares according to the percentage ownership of shareholders This results
in a reduction in the stated value per share
e.g., a 2-for-1 split means that one share with a value of P10 will be exchanged for 2 shares each with a
value of P5.
- A share split does not affect the total equity of the company

- The purpose of a share split is to increase the marketability of the shares by lowering the market price per share.

- A share split does not affect the balance in shareholders’ equity accounts and therefore a formal journal entry is not
required.

Accounts

Allocation of Cash Dividends Between Preference Shares and Ordinary Shares

1. Preference shares have priority over ordinary shares in terms of dividends.
2. The amount of dividend payment to preference shares depends on the type and preferential rights attached to the
share, which could be cumulative or non-cumulative and participating or non-participating.
a. A cumulative preference share has a right to receive current dividends in arrears before ordinary
shareholders receive any dividends.
b. A participating preference share provides for additional dividends to be paid to its holder after
dividends of a specified amount or rate are paid to ordinary shareholders.
3. If the problem is silent, the preference shares are assumed to be noncumulative and nonparticipating.
4. Dividends for the current year are called current dividends, while dividends that were not declared in the
previous years are called dividends in arrears. Dividends not declared on the previous years are usually
considered forfeited unless the preference shares are cumulative in nature. Dividends in arrears must be
specifically disclosed, otherwise, no dividends in arrears shall be assumed.
5. In case there are two or more classes of participating preference shares with different rates, the LOWER rate
shall be the basis of allocation to the ordinary shares. If only one of them is participating, then that rate
shall be used regardless whether the other preference share but nonparticipating shall have a lower rate.

Correction of Prior Period Errors

- Prior period errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, the entity’s financial statements for one or more
periods arising from failure to use, or misuse of, reliable information that was available when financial statements for
those periods were authorized for issue and could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into
account in the preparation of those financial statements.
- Such errors encompass effects of mathematical mistakes, mistakes in applying accounting policies, oversights or
misinterpretation of facts, and fraud.
- They may result to either a net understatement or net overstatement of the balance in the retained earnings account. The
adjustment that should be taken up in the retained earnings is net of the related income tax.
