Retained Earnings Statement

The retained earnings statement is a financial report that details the changes in a company’s retained earnings over a reporting period. It begins with the opening balance of retained earnings, adds net income, and subtracts dividends declared, among other adjustments. This statement shows how the accumulated profits are being utilized, including distributions to shareholders.

Financial Statements

Financial statements are formal records that provide an overview of a company's financial performance and position over a specific period. They include the balance sheet, income statement, retained earnings statement, and statement of cash flows, each offering different insights into assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and changes in equity.

Dividends

Dividends represent a portion of a company's earnings that are distributed to its shareholders. These distributions reduce the company's retained earnings and do not reflect an expense in the income statement. Instead, they indicate a return on investment for shareholders and are typically disclosed on the retained earnings statement.
