For dividend appropriation is to be done and as soon as directors recommend the dividend the appropriation been done in the accounts and balance sheet is prepared accordingly.
However, in case of any change in the Dividend in the General Meeting the same need to be corrected in the current year balance sheet only, another board meeting is to be called, accounts will be approved again, and AGM will be adjourned and if needed extension for holding the General Meeting need to be taken and again Financial Statements will be adopted and filed accordingly..
It is my personal opinion... I am yet to find any clear law on this topic...

The entries are to be passed as soon as the Directors recommend the dividend and Financial Statement are prepared accordingly to be adopted in the AGM.

Absolutely. "Proposed Dividend" could be a good nomenclature. Even some companies put the year also e.g. "proposed dividend 2015-16" and so on so forth.

Why are you so much SCARED and DECISIVE about AGM? BoD can propose/recommend dividend as per the profitabilty of the company. Just to add your confusion about AGM timing......Interim devidend can be recomened during the financial year and well ahead of AGM. Can you please enlighten as to why you are so much keen about AGM timing??? Any specific issue?

Interim Dividend may be declared by the Board of Directors and there is no intervention of shareholders in Interim Dividend, you need to report the Interim Dividend paid during the year in the Directors Report.

my query is related to step 3, weather accounts will be finalized & audited before AGM or after agm if before agm then suppose directors had proposed the dividend and the same has been rejected by share holders in agm in that case how the finalized & audited accounts will be correct accordingly.......
19 May 2016
Audit has to be done before AGM and Audited Financial Statement has to be submitted by the Auditors to the Board and the Directors and Auditors sign on the Audited Financial Statement.

The entry is passed in the subsequent year. (for next year audit........Event occurring after balance sheet date, prior period item.....reporting can be done)
