The directors current account (DCA) (also known as simply directors account) is a notional balance between a company and its directors. It is not a real bank account, and is not represented by real monies. It records:
- Monies drawn by the director, on account of salary, dividends, expenses, etc (if not attributed to salary/dividend at the time of drawing)
- Other drawings by the director – eg personal bills paid by the company.
- Net amounts of salary and dividend due.
- Expense re-imbursements due
Normally a directors account must be kept in credit – that’s to say that amounts brought forward, plus net salary and dividend, plus expense re-imbursements must be more than the amounts drawn. This balance can normally be achieved by adjusting the year end dividend level. When the directors account is in credit, it is a credit balance on the accounts, and shows as a creditor – that’s to say an amount owed by the company to the director.
u can`t pay salaries of other staff except directors.
