i have transferred some part of last year profit of our business to General reserve.i am confused where to transfer the balance accumulated profit as we cant keep the same in P&L a/c under liability.Plz help
In case of company Full profit will be added to 'Surplus i.e. balance in statement of P&L' under the head reserve and surplus in laibility side of balance sheet and then deduct amount transfer to general reserve from such profit.
Eg. Reserve & Surplus: Balance in statemwnt of P&L 10000 Add: Current year 100000 Total 110000 Less: Transfer to GR 1000 Balance 109000
