    Hi,

    Can you explain the difference in the above for me and what should be included in both. Keep getting confused when completing q1 in P2 paper.

    Thanks,

    Ed

    R/E is retained earnings and includes just the profits from previous years and from current year.
    Reserves is a much wider notion, which means everything that goes to equity, other than the share capital, ie R/E, revaluation reserves, fx exchange profit/loss, other components of equity etc.
