These shares are not all in circulation — they simply define the company's capacity to issue equity. Issued shares are the portion of authorised shares that have actually been allotted or transferred to shareholders. Issued shares determine the actual ownership and voting structure of the company.
An example of issuing shares is when a company launches an IPO to offer its shares to the general public for the first time. Here, the number of shares the company offers is called issued shares.
Accounting for issue of shares depends upon the type of subscription. Whenever a company decides to issue shares to public, it invites applications for subscription by issuing a prospectus. It is not necessary that company receives applications for the number of shares to be issued by it.
The accounting treatment of rights share is the same as that of issue of ordinary shares and the following journal entry will be made: Bank A/c To Equity shares capital A/c Dr. Bank A/c To Equity Share Capital A/c To Securities Premium A/c Dr.
The number of issued shares is recorded on a company's balance sheet as capital stock or owners' equity, while the shares outstanding (issued shares minus any shares in the treasury) are listed on the company's quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Share issue costs are debited to equity whereas listing expenses are charged to the P&L. Therefore, it becomes important to allocate the total costs incurred in an IPO to share issue costs and other than share issue costs, i.e., listing expenses.
In these cases, the shares should be recorded at the fair value of the asset acquired or service received. Note that this treatment is different than the treatment of non-monetary exchanges of assets, where the fair value of the asset given up is normally used as the transaction amount.
