Hi all

Can anybody please help me out in explaining me what treatment to dividend should be given in holding company accounts.

i.e. when dividend is paid then when it is reduced from opening balance of P/L & when out of current years profit.

when the question is silent about payment of dividend we should follow which treatment?

Thanks.
