If you need to formalize the company's profit distribution process, use our recommendations to develop a dividend policy statement. They will help to fix in the regulations how to determine the amount of dividends, for what purposes it is permissible to spend retained earnings and how to justify the expediency of this to owners.

To avoid conflicts between the owners and management of the company on the distribution of profits, it is worth developing and approving a dividend policy. If the owners do not require the creation of such a document, offer it yourself.

What to include in the general part of the dividend policy statement

In the general part of the dividend policy statement, disclose:

  • the purpose of the dividend policy is, for example, to ensure stable dividend payments to owners not below the established level;
  • the purpose of the provision - suppose it establishes the procedure for calculating and paying dividends, as well as the directions for using retained earnings. Another example: the provision allows you to determine the optimal ratio between dividends and capitalized profits;
  • internal regulations and regulatory framework– indicate which company documents and laws were used in preparing the regulation. Assume a company charter, civil code of the Russian Federation, ;
  • Terms and Definitions - . In this way, discrepancies can be avoided.

How to regulate the rules for the distribution and reinvestment of profits

Fix in the regulation on dividend policy the rules that will help determine annually and dividends. Theoretically, owners can withdraw all net profit in the form of dividends. Therefore, it is necessary to justify to them what amount should be left at the disposal of the enterprise.

Specify in the regulation:

  • options for using net profit - it can be distributed among the participants, directed to the funds and reserves of the enterprise, or left undistributed;
  • – as a percentage of budgeted profit, invested capital or actual net income (see formula);
  • the maximum level of retained earnings on the balance sheet of the enterprise - in monetary terms, as a percentage of budget or actual profit;
  • conditions under which it is permissible to leave part of the profit at the disposal of the company - suppose if it overfulfilled the profit plan in the past period;
  • directions of spending retained earnings - for what purposes it is permissible to spend it (see. );
  • justifications that prove to owners the need to reinvest profits - what documents to provide, what to reflect in them.

Formula.

How to regulate the procedures for distributing profits for the past financial year

In the provision on dividend policy, fix the sequence of actions in the distribution of profits. Describe the procedure in two aspects:

1. How the company reviews and approves financial statements. By reporting is approved by the participants of the company, but it can be foreseen preliminary analysis board of directors.

2. How to prepare and approve the decision on the distribution of profits for the past financial year.

Indicate the powers of all those involved in the procedures, the terms for preparing, reviewing and approving documents.

How to regulate the distribution of profits from previous years

The retained earnings of previous years, which the participants left at the disposal of the enterprise, is equity capital, which improves . However, this source of funding cannot be considered reliable. Business owners can hold a meeting at any time and withdraw profits as dividends.

It is important for the management of the company that the participants notify in advance . If an enterprise is preparing for financial monitoring, changes a creditor, is going to pay a tranche of investment project, then an unscheduled outflow of funds for the payment of dividends can significantly worsen the financial situation. Since the law does not oblige the participants to inform the management in advance, it is advisable to fix the deadlines for notification in the regulations (see para. ). To set them, determine how long it will take the business to minimize the effects of outflows.
