    Hi sir regarding dividends.

    Let’s say a company is intending to propose a final dividend once the financial statements are finalised.

    This means that the dividends will only be announced/declared after the year end therefore no obligation exists at the year end , hence its a non-adjusting event and should only be disclosed.

    Am i right sir ?

    Your are correct:

    IAS1 states:

    …the following must be disclosed in the notes:

    the amount of dividends proposed or declared before the financial statements were authorised for issue but which were not recognised as a distribution to owners during the period, and the related amount per share
