    Hello,
    I would like to discuss (seek advice on) the correct accounting entries for share options and share appreciation rights (SARS). Let us assume the following case: the entity’s liability caused by granted share options for the current year has increased by 10 $M. What should the correct accounting entry be- is it:

    DT Retain earnings 10
    CT Other equity components (assuming they contain share reserves) 10

    What if the liability increase again is 10 $M, but it is caused by SARS. In this case I assume that the correct accounting entry will be:

    DT Retain earnings 10
    Ct Non-current liabilities 10

    Please advice.
