Question

Accounting

  1. I have been told by a colleague who is studying accounting that our current accounting policy in relation to dividend may not be correct or in accordance with accounting standards. My colleague stated that many public companies have dividend policies, which have been communicated to shareholders as to the amount of the fully franked distribution, which will be paid to shareholders. It may be argued that such a policy provides the company with a constructive liability to pay the dividend. Currently, the dividend is not treated as constructive liability in Cairns Ltd. Could you please advise whether the constructive liability should arise?
