Declared dividend is also called Current liabilities ?
and if yes then why does this called as current liabilities sir ?Yes, declared dividends are considered current liabilities because one a company declares a dividend, it becomes a legal obligation to pay that amount to shareholders. Must settle within the current accounting period, typically within one year, which is why it is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet.
