Accounting for Share Capital Transactions

For a company, share capital is the main source of fund. So, when company gets share capital, it is very necessary to record it in the books. To know basics of accounting for share capital transactions is still important for every accountant because today most of companies are limited by shares. Every shareholder's liability is limited up to his bought shares.


Today, we will start  accounting for share capital with following transactions :

(A) Journal Entries of Share Capital Transactions 

1. When company gets Application Money

For doing business, company need big money. Company issues the prospectus during initial public offering. All the person who satisfied with company's written terms and objectives in the prospectus, may apply for getting shares. This is the first transaction which is done between the investor and company. After this, company will not record when one shareholder sells the shares to other shareholder because in the year, a company's shares may be transferred from millions of people to other millions of people. In the end, company will make shareholder register to record the current shareholders.

Important : Because company is not getting full amount from shareholder. So, company divides total receivable money in the share application, share allotment and balance in share calls.

Ok, come to learn when company gets application money.

Allotment means physical transfer of shares from company to investor. After this, a investor will become the owner and shareholder of company. Before this, he is just a creditor. All the application money will be transfer to the investor to whom we did not allot the share. It may happen due to more application than our demanding quota of application which depends on our issued capital.

If company gets all the money from applicants in one installment, company just debits the bank account and credits the share capital account but because we are receiving money in different parts, so, when company has fixed the date when company has to get allotment money from shareholder, company will transfer it to share capital account. Normally, at the date of allotment of money and allotment due dates will be same.
