Hi Mike,
Really need your help on something.

Can you please explain to me thoroughly about the Investment in Son/Subsidiaries account?
When the Son declared dividends, the Parent record Cr Investment in Son.

And also, when the dividend got paid on the next year (after declared at the end of previous year), what will be the accounting records?

Thank you so much before Mike!
Really hope to hear from you soon.
