19 June 2013 No, dividend is appropriation of profits..

"Dividend is a distribution to shareholders out of profits or reserves available for this purpose."

if it is provision for expenses.. it is charge against profits..
.
.
because here even though you have profit or not we need to charge to statement of profit and loss

Thanks & regards
