Statement of Changes in Owners Equity Template<\/strong> includes a column labeled \u201cShare Capital\u201d. It\u2019s a column where relatively few changes if any happen over the years. Usually the same amount is carried forward from one year to another and nothing is added or subtracted. But why is that? And most importantly what is share capital?
\n
\nWe\u2019ll start off with the second question to also answer to the first one. When starting business you either pay in some cash, contribute other considerations or raise funding from investors by issuing shares. Those shares form a fund called \u201cshare capital\u201d. Note that minimum requirements of share capital for limited and public companies vary from countries. Generally speaking the share capital may consist of ordinary and preference shares, which usually have different face (nominal) values. The calculation of share capital is rather simple in most cases, simply multiply the numbers of shares with their nominal value and in case of different share types add up the totals to reach to the amount recorded in books as share capital.<\/p>\n

Over the years changes in share capital can be both negative and positive. Positive changes happen mainly because of extra financing received through additional share issuance. When this may seem like a relatively easy operation, we suggest that you consult with your local legislation concerning any documents, registration etc required for issuing new shares. Negative changes come about when owners decide to decrease the share capital to be paid back to the shareholders. Note that such action may be subject to dividend regulations (meaning also additional tax expense in most countries) and should be consulted with your local auditors or other officials for tax optimization advice.<\/p>\n

The Share Capital included in Statement of Changes in Owners Equity Template undergoes an increase through additional shares issued. Such a change under IFRS reporting is shown in section \u201cTransactions with owners\u201d and is added as a total sum to the brought forward balance of share capital. Additional information is presented in the notes to the annual report.<\/p>\n
