Dividend Confusion

[ASB]

Thanks everyone. I think there has just been a miscommunication between me and the accountant and I after your advice I now feel I am firmer ground to argue the point.

I certainly do have dividend certificates so I shall put those together and forward them.

For the first 8 months 100% pc of the dividend properly declared, minuted etc were yours. After that is was 66/34 for those subsequently declared.

Knowing the exact timings and amounts would enable a calculation to be done.

I suspect that tcp has hit the nail on the head.

Knowing who produced the vouchers and whether they are in your physical possession could clear a lot up. (Your post suggests it is all done correctly).

Often they seem to be discovered down the back of the sofa a bit after the event. Councidentally with the contemperaneous minutes.

Edit: you never "take" dividends. The company votes them and pays them as it sees fit. It may well be that they are simply journalised to shareholders current accounts but that is the result of the process. Not the process.
