- Abstract
- The purpose of the study is to review critically current accounting for corporate dividends
in Korea by the way of empirical method as well as archival method, focusing on income
available for dividend, timing for recognition of income dividends payable, stock dividend,
and interim dividend, which were picked up as crucial matters of concern in the course of
accounting transparency project under IMF supervision.
Results of the study are as follows:
First, unrealized evaluation gains and other legal reserves such as business rationalization
reserve should be eliminated from net assets for calculating income available for dividend,
which will lead to foreseeable revision of the Commercial Code.
Second, the company rendering stock dividend should choose between par value method
and market method for accounting treatment of stock dividend depending upon its economic
substance, whose criteria should be enumerated explicitly.
Third, additional information regarding to interim dividend should be provided in the note
to financial statements in the same manner as regular dividend, while the timing for
recognition of interim dividend should be the date of Board of Directors Meeting rather than interim balance sheet date.
