MODULE 9 EQUITY

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity is often referred to as the book value of the company and it comes from
two main sources. The first source is the money originally and subsequently invested in the
company through share offerings. The second source consists of the retained earnings the
company accumulates over time through its operations. In most cases, especially when dealing
with companies that have been in business for many years, retained earnings is the largest
component.

Conceptually, stockholders' equity is useful as a means of judging the funds retained within a
business. If this figure is negative, it may indicate an oncoming bankruptcy for that business,
particularly if there exists a large debt liability as well.

Paid-In Capital and Stockholders' Equity


Companies fund their capital purchases with equity and borrowed capital. The equity
capital/stockholders' equity can also be viewed as a company's net assets (total assets
minus total liabilities). Investors contribute their share of (paid-in) capital as stockholders, which
is the basic source of total stockholders' equity. The amount of paid-in capital from an investor is
a factor in determining his/her ownership percentage.

Retained Earnings
Retained earnings are a company's net income from operations and other business activities
retained by the company as additional equity capital. Retained earnings are thus a part of
stockholders' equity. They represent returns on total stockholders' equity reinvested back into
the company. Retained earnings accumulate and grow larger over time. At some point,
accumulated retained earnings may exceed the amount of contributed equity capital and can
eventually grow to be the main source of stockholders' equity.

Treasury Shares
Companies may return a portion of stockholders' equity back to stockholders when unable to
adequately allocate equity capital in ways that produce desired profits. This reverse capital
exchange between a company and its stockholders is known as share buybacks. Shares bought
back by companies become treasury shares, and their peso value is noted in the treasury
stock contra account. Treasury shares continue to count as issued shares, but they are not
considered to be outstanding and are thus not included in dividends or the calculation of
earnings per share (EPS). Treasury shares can always be reissued back to stockholders for
purchase when companies need to raise more capital. If a company doesn't wish to hang on to
the shares for future financing, it can choose to retire the shares.

Assertions Related to Equity

Existence
A firm records the equity interest of each of its investors on its balance sheet. For publicly
traded companies, these records are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As
a means of gathering evidence, an auditor can gauge the records a public or private firms
keeps of its assets and liabilities -- in addition to the firm's equity interests -- to ensure
complete records of a firm's financial position exist. A firm must disclose all of its shareholder
equity to an auditor.
Rights and Obligations
Managers and shareholders in a firm have certain rights and obligations pertaining to the
firm's equity. An entity, be it an individual or a group investor, is entitled to the equity it
purchased from the firm and is obliged to cover all liabilities it undertook. The company's
management is responsible for asserting this information to the auditor in compliance with
PFRS. Management must also disclose each transaction pertinent to an entity's equity,
including evidence to support that each entity involved met its obligations.
Completeness

In addition to recording and disclosing all of a firm's equity interests, each disclosure made to
an auditor must be factually complete and accurate. All assets, liabilities and equity interests
that management should have recorded must be recorded on the firm's balance sheet. An
auditor should pay attention to the completeness of all records pertaining to cash transactions;
Employees can often overlook or fail to report cash receipts.

Valuation and Allocation


The standard requires a firm's equity interests to be accurately recorded in its financial
statements. Company managers must also record any equity valuations and allocations. If a
firm issues additional shares of common stock, for example, the volume of shares issued must
be recorded. The price at which the company issued the shares must also be recorded. If a
firm issues additional stock -- or recalls additional stock -- the percentage of shareholder
equity changes; such a change must also be reflected in the firm's financial statements.

Equity-Related Fraud and Errors


Theft seldom occurs in the sale of stock. If fraud happens, it’s usually a false equity
presentation. Why? Inflating equity makes the organization appear healthier than it really is.

Additionally, mistakes lead to errors in equity accounting. Such mistakes might occur if the entity
sells complex equity instruments.

Directional Risk for Equity


The directional risk for equity is that it is overstated (companies desire strong equity positions).
So, audit for existence.

Primary Risks for Equity


Primary risks for equity include:
1. Equity is intentionally overstated (fraud)
2. Misclassified equity (error)

As you think about these risks, consider the control deficiencies that allow equity misstatements.

Common Equity Control Deficiencies


In smaller entities, it is common to have the following control deficiencies:

 One person performs two or more of the following:


 Approves the sale of equity interests,
 Enters the new equity in the accounting system,
 Deposits funds from the sale of the equity instruments
 Accounting personnel lack knowledge regarding equity transactions
Another key to auditing equity is understanding the risks of material misstatement.

Risk of Material Misstatement for Equity


In auditing equity, the assertions that concern me the most are existence, classification, and
rights. So my risk of material misstatement for these assertions is usually moderate to high.
My response to the higher risk assessments is to perform certain substantive procedures:
namely, a review of equity transactions. Why?
A company may desire to overstate its equity. Also, misclassifications occur due to
misunderstandings about equity accounting.
Once your risk assessment is complete, you’ll decide what substantive procedures to perform.

Substantive Procedures for Equity


Substantive tests for auditing equity include:
1. Summarizing and reviewing all equity transactions
2. Reviewing all equity accounts for proper classification
3. Agreeing all beginning of period balances to the prior period’s ending balances
4. Reviewing equity disclosures for compliance with the requirements of the reporting
framework (e.g., PFRS)

In light of my risk assessment and substantive procedures, the equity work papers normally
includes:

Common Equity Work Papers


Equity work papers normally include the following:
 An understanding of equity-related internal controls
 Documentation of any equity internal control deficiencies
 Risk assessment of equity at the assertion level
 Equity audit program
 A copy of (sample) equity instruments
 Minutes reflecting the approval of new equity or the retirement of existing equity
 A summary of equity activity (beginning balances plus new equity less equity distributions
and ending balance)

In Summary
In summary, we’ve reviewed the keys to auditing equity. Those keys include risk assessment
procedures, determining relevant assertions, performing risk assessments, and developing
substantive procedures. The most important issues to address are usually (1) equity accounting
(especially when there are more complex types of equity transactions) and (2) the classification
of equity.

Shareholders’ equity
Shareholders’ equity is the residual interest in the assets of a corporation after deducting all its
liabilities.

The components of shareholders’ equity include the following:


1. Contributed capital (Capital stock)
 Preference share capital (Preferred stock)
 Ordinary share capital (Common stock)
 Subscribed share capital (subscribed capital stock)
 Subscription receivable (as deduction)
 Share dividends distributable
 Share premium (Additional paid-in capital)
2. Retained earnings (appropriated and unappropriated)
3. Treasury stocks
4. Other comprehensive income
 Revaluation surplus
 Cumulative unrealized fair value gain/losses on FVOCI securities
 Translation differences of foreign operations
 Effective portion of cash flow hedges

Preferred Stock Stock that has special rights and takes priority over common stock

Common Stock Par Value Par value of units of ownership of a corporation

Represents capital received by a company when its shares are sold


Share Premium (APIC) above their par value

Common stock that had been issued and then reacquired


Treasury Stock (bought back) by a company

Total amount of earnings of a company since its inception


Retained Earnings minus dividends and losses (if any)

Corporate form of organization

Share System
In the absence of restrictive provisions, each share carries the following rights:
1. To share proportionately in profits and losses.
2. To share proportionately in management (the right to vote for directors).
3. To share proportionately in assets upon liquidation.
4. To share proportionately in any new issues of shares of the same class—called
the preemptive right.

Issuance of Shares
Accounting problems:
1. Par value shares.
2. No-par shares.
3. Shares issued in combination with other securities.
4. Shares issued in non-cash transactions.
5. Costs of issuing shares.

Par Value Shares


Low par values help companies avoid a contingent liability.
Corporations maintain accounts for:
 Preference Shares or Ordinary Shares.
 Share Premium
Illustration:
An entity issues 5,000 shares with par value of 100 per share for 120 per share. The issuance
is recorded as follows:
Cash 600,000
Share capital 500,000
Share premium 100,000
Issued price (5,000 x 120) 600,000
Par value (5,000 x 100) 500,000
Share premium (5,000 x 20) 100,000
Note: The excess of issued price over the par value is share premium.

No-Par Shares
Reasons for issuance:
 Avoids contingent liability.
 Avoids confusion over recording par value versus fair market value.

No-par value shares is one without peso value fixed in the articles of incorporation. However,
a no-par value share has a stated value which is also indicated in the articles of incorporation
but not on a share certificate issued. Par value and no-par value share are distinguished by the
presence or absence of a value per share on the share certificate issued. Under the
Corporation Code, no-par value shares should not be issued for a consideration less than 5
pesos per share. Upon issuance the excess of issued price over the stated value s credited to
share premium.
Pro forma entry upon issuance:
Cash xx
Share capital xx
Share Premium xx

Shares Issued with Other Securities


Two methods of allocating proceeds:
 Proportional method.
 Incremental method.

Illustration:
Ozz Corp. issues 1,000 5 par value ordinary shares and 1,000 20 par value preference shares
for a lump sum of 60,000. At the issue date, the ordinary shares were selling for 36 and the
preference shares were selling for 28.
The entry to record the issuance is as follows:
Cash 60,000
Preference Share 20,000
Ordinary Share 5,000
Share Premium – PS 6,250
Share Premium – OS 28,750

Issue Price 60,000


Allocated to Preference share 26,250
Allocated to Ordinary share 33,750
Allocation using relative fair value: Allocation
FV of PS (1,000 x 28) = 28,000 28/64 x 60,000 = 26,250
FV of OS (1,000 x 36) = 36,000 36/64 x 60,000 = 33,750
64,000 60,000
The excess of allocated proceeds over par value is share premium.

Shares Issued in Noncash Transactions


The general rule: Companies should record shares issued for services or property other than
cash at the
 fair value of the goods or services received.
 If the fair value of the goods or services cannot be measured reliably, use the fair
value of the shares issued.

Illustration:
On December 1, 2024, Tris Corporation exchanged 20,000 shares of its 10 par value ordinary
shares held in treasury for a used machine. The treasury shares were acquired by Tris at a cost
of 40 per share, and are accounted for under the cost method. On the date of the exchange,
the ordinary shares had a fair value of 55 per share (the shares were originally issued at 30
per share).
Entry:
Machinery 1,100.000
TS 800,000

Shares issued for services or property other than cash should be recognized at:
1. fair value of the goods or services received.
2. If the fair value of the goods or services cannot be measured reliably, use the fair value
of the shares issued.
Since the fair value of property received is not determinable, priority 2 shall be used.
FV of shares (20,000 x 55) = 1,100,00; the difference between FV and cost of TS is
share premium

Costs of Issuing Stock


Direct costs incurred to sell shares, such as
 underwriting costs,
 accounting and legal fees,
 printing costs, and
 taxes,
should reduce the proceeds received from the sale of the shares.

Share issuance cost


Issuing shares entails expenditures, such as regulatory fees, legal, accounting, and other
professional fees, commissions and underwriter’s fees, printing cost of certificates, and
documentary stamp tax and other transaction taxes.

These expenditures, called share issuance cost, are deducted from any resulting share
premium from the issuance. If share premium is insufficient, the excess is charge to retained
earnings.

Illustration:
On January 1, 20x1, XYZ Co. issued 1,000 shares with par value of 100 for 120 per share.
Share issuance cost amounted to 5,000.
The entries are as follows:
Cash (115 x 1,000) 115,000
Share Capital (1,000 x 100) 100,000
Share Premium ((120-5-100) x 1,000) 15,000

Reacquisition of Shares
Corporations purchase their outstanding shares to:
 Provide tax-efficient distributions of excess cash to shareholders.
 Increase earnings per share and return on equity.
 Provide shares for employee compensation contracts or to meet potential merger
needs.
 To reduce the number of shareholders.
 Make a market in the shares.

Purchase of Treasury Shares


 Cost method (more widely used). TS shall be recognized at cost
TS xx
Cash xx

Sale of Treasury Shares


 Above Cost (I.P. >Cost = SP)
 Below Cost (I.P.<Cost = Indicated loss charge to
SP-TS/RE

Retiring Treasury Shares


Decision results in
 cancellation of the treasury shares and
 a reduction in the number of shares of issued shares.
Par > Cost = SP
Par < Cost = SP orig.; /SP – TS; /RE

Illustration:
On January 1, 20x1, the statement of financial position of XYZ Co. shows the following
information:
Share capital (100 par) 800,000
Share premium 160,000
Retained earnings 540,000
Total shareholders’ equity 1,500,000

Case 1: Acquisition of treasury stock.


On July 1, 20x1, XYZ acquires 1,000 shares at 90.
Treasury shares (1,000 x 90) 90,000
Cash 90,000

Case 2: Reissuance at more than cost.


On Sept. 1, reissues the 1,000 treasury shares at 140.
Cash (1,000 x 140) 140,000
Treasury shares (1,000 x 90) 90,000
Share premium – TS 50,000

Case 3: Reissuance at below cost


Assume that on Sept. 1, 20x1, reissues the 1,000 shares at 60.
Cash (1,000 x 60) 60,000
Retained earnings 30,000
Treasury shares (1,000 x 90) 90,000

When treasury shares are subsequently reissued at below cost, the excess of cost over the
reissuance price is debited to the following order of priority:
a. Any balance in “share premium – treasury shares” arising from the same class of share
capital.
b. If the balance in “share premium – treasury shares” is insufficient, any excess is debited
to retained earnings.

Illustration: Retirement of shares


On January 1, 20x1, the statement of financial position of XYZ Co. shows the following:
Share capital (100 par) 800,000
Share Premium 160,000
Share Premium – treasury shares 5,000
Retained earnings 535,000
Total shareholders’ equity 1,500,000

Case 1: Retirement cost less than original price


XYZ reacquires 1,000 shares at 80 per share on July 1, 20x1 and retires them on
September 1, 20x1.
July 1
Treasury shares (1,000 x 80) 80,000
Cash 80,000
Sept. 1
Share capital (1,000 x 100) 100,000
Share premium – original issuance 20,000
Treasury shares 80,000
Share premium – retirement 40,000

Case 2: Retirement cost greater than original issuance price


XYZ reacquires 1,000 shares at 140 on July 1, 20x1 and immediately retires them.
July 1
Share capital (1,000 x 100) 100,000
Share premium – original issuance (1,000 x 20) 20,000
Share premium – treasury shares 5,000
Retained earning (balancing figure) 15,000
Cash (1,000 x 140) 140,000

When shares are reacquired and immediately retired, the excess of cost over the original issued
price shall be charge to:
1. Share premium from treasury stock
2. Retained earnings

5. In connection with your audit of the Trisha Corporation, you were able to obtain the following
information pertaining to the corporation’s equity accounts.

Trisha Corporation has 32,000 shares of P2 par value ordinary stock authorized. Only 75% of
these shares have been issued, and of the shares issued, only 22,000 are outstanding. On
December 31, 2024, the stockholders’ equity section revealed that the balance in share
premium in Excess of Par Value – ordinary was 832,000, and the Retained Earnings balance
was 220,000. The Treasury stock was purchased at an average price of P37.50 per share.

During 2025, Trisha had the following transactions:

Jan. 15 Trisha issued, at P55 per share, 1,600 shares of P50 par, 5% cumulative
preference stock; 4,000 shares are authorized
