Reporting of capital employed

AS 915 views 2 replies

As per my understanding, Capital Employed  equals Shareholders' Funds + Non- Current liabilities or Total Assets less Current Liabilities or Non-current Assets + Working Capital.

However, in recently published audited / unaudited Quarterly / Half-Yearly results of Companies, the representation of Capital Employed is different. In these statements the Capital Employed is shown to be equal to Shareholders' Funds. The Non- Current Liabilities have not been considered in computing the Capital Employed.

Can someone throw light on this please?

The computation depends on the objective of calculating Capital Employed. e.g. CARO (Companies Act) defines capital employed, different banks use different formulae for calculating capital employed.

If we are talking about total capital employed in a business, it must include Shareholders' funds + Non current liabilities. If the companies mentioned by you have used the capital employed to disclose return on shareholders' funds or percentage of Profit after Tax to capital employed, then it will represent only shareholders' funds. Need to check the context in which these companies have used the term 'Capital employed'.
