    Are we ok to assume that dividends in the 2008 year payables would have been paid within 2009?

    Absolutely, YES

    And watch out for this little trick ….

    Retained earnings in the statements of financial position should have move from last year to this year by this year’s figure.

    But your examiner has started getting cute! Say RE last year was 15,000 and RE this year is 18,000 and Profit after tax this year is 5,000

    There MUST have been a 2,000 dividend!

    He won’t flag this in the question so you need to be aware of it

    OK?
