Issued share capital is brought more into line with assets employed in the entity ?
Sir what does this mean? This is an advantage of a bonus issue..
A bonus issue increases the share capital (and reduces reserves).
Given that capital + reserves is always equal to the net assets, then increasing the capital and reducing the reserves automatically means that the share capital is nearer to the net assets.
(However, although I don’t know from where you are quoting this, it is not really much of an advantage – the total shown as owing to shareholders is capital + reserves, and this total does not change.)
