    Of course there are! What about dividends paid out of retained earnings? Profit before tax will normally not be an issue. But Steve Scott MAY not give you a statement of changes in equity where you would find the dividends declared out of retained earnings. In that ( rare ) situation, retained earnings brought forward + profit after tax – dividends declared should = retained earnings carried forward

    Better?
