II. Introduction
We have already finished the discussion on two of the set of financial statements, the Statement of Financial Position and the
Statement of Comprehensive Income. Now, in this module we are going to discuss the Statement of Changes in Equity or SoCE.
III. Objectives
IV. Pre-Test
V. Discussion
Recall our discussion on the module Introduction to Financial Statements. We know that the financial statements are
interconnected. The net income or loss of the company is shown in the statement of comprehensive income. The balance of the
equity will then be reported in the statement of financial position. This part of the module will guide us in the understanding the
statement of changes in equity and how it is used.
The statement of financial position provides the users with the company’s assets, liabilities and equity as of a particular date. The
equity portion in the SFP will show how much is the owner’s claims from the assets after the liabilities are paid. The statement of
Changes of Equity (SoCE) will show the users of the financial information the changes in the equity during the period.
The SoCE is a statement dated “for the period”. The report shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the
equity accounts. It summarizes the equity transactions with the owners of the business during the period or year. (Salazar, 2017)
The presentation of SoCE and equity portion of the SFP depends on the business organization. Let us review the types of business
according to its formation.

Form Description
Sole Proprietorship Simplest form of a business organization.
Only one owner
The business has no legal personality separate from its owners
Claim of creditors to the business may extend to the personal asset of the
owner
Partnership o Business is owned by two or more owners called partners
o The partnership has a legal personality separate from its owners.
o The claims of the partnership creditors may extend to the personal assets of
the partners
Corporation The most complex form of business organization
It is owned by many owners called stockholders or shareholders1
Ownership is divided common stocks or shares of stocks
One shareholder can own many stocks
Stockholders have limited liability, creditors only have claims on the
corporation’s assets
Before we move forward, please provide the advantages and disadvantages of each type of business organizations.
IMPORTANT: All of the different accounting procedures discussed for a service business or a merchandising business are the same
regardless of the form of organization except on how to account for the Equity which will be discussed in the remainder of this
module.
The changes in equity in a business reported in the SoCE are usually composed of owner’s investment, owner’s withdrawals and
results of operations. These are the elements found on the SoCE. Reporting would vary depending on the form of business
organization.
SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP
The SFP and SoCE will present one capital account because there is only one owner. The owner’s equity account usually follows the
naming convention: [owner’s name], Capital. For example, if Ronald Suñiga is the owner of the business the equity account will be
Ronald Suñiga, Capital. Same for drawing account, Ronald Suñiga, Drawing. The drawing account us used by accountants to record
withdrawals form the owner.

REPUBLIC ACT No. 11232 or known as Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines was signed into law in February 2019. The new
code allows a one-man corporation. A One-Person Corporation (OPC) is a corporation with a single stockholder, who can only be a
natural person (who must be of legal age), trust or estate. However, this will not be discussed in this module. This is a topic that will
be discussed in higher accounting subjects.

For our illustration, let us use Rein Cleaning Services’ adjusted trial balance for year ended December 31, 2019. The beginning
balance of the owner’s equity account is ₱490,000.
Probably you are asking how did we get the amount that was
invested by the owner. First you can check the ledger
postings on the debit side of the owner’s equity account. Or
in case you are only given the beginning balance you can
compute for the investment. The amount of in the trial
balance shows ₱640,000 and we are told that the beginning
balance is ₱490,000, this means that from the beginning
balance there was an additional ₱150,000 investment.
In showing the details in the SoCE, the investment is added to the beginning balance together with the net income (from the SCI).
The drawing account is then deducted to get the ending balance. (Note: The ending balance shown on the balance sheet will
reflected in the general journal after the closing entries are posted. This will be the beginning balance of the next period.)
The ending capital from the SoCE is presented on the SFP under Liabilities and Owner’s Equity.
PARTNERSHIP
A partnership is owned by two or more individuals called partners. Because there is more than one owner of the business, the
owner’s equity account will also be more than one. Same naming convention will be used for the owner’s equity account and it is
the same with a sole proprietorship, [owner’s name], Capital. This will also be true for the drawings account. For example: if Ariel
Miranda, Aries Miranda and Albert Miranda decided to form a partnership, their capital and drawing accounts would be:

Like in a sole proprietorship, we will also be accounting for the owner’s investment and drawings. This time however, the result of
operations would be distributed according to the partner’s agreement.
Illustration – PARTNERSHIP (Salazar, D. R. (2017). Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management 2. Quezon City: Rex
Bookstore Inc.)
The DEF Partnership was established in 20X0. The partners, Diana, Emina and Fanny have January 1, 20X1 outstanding capital
balances of ₱25,600, ₱43,800 and ₱37,655 respectively. Diana contributed ₱15,000 during 20X1. Emina and Fanny also contribute
₱10,000 each in 20X1. The year-end balance of each partner’s drawings account are as follows: Diana ₱12,000, Emina ₱15,000 and
Fanny ₱14,000.
The partnership reported 20X1 net income of ₱75,650. According to the partnership agreement, the partner’s profit-sharing ratio is
30%, 40% and 30% for Diana, Emina and Fanny.
Solution:
DEF Partnership
Statement of Changes in Partner's Equity
For the year ended December 31, 20X1
Explanation:
Just like in a sole proprietorship, the computation of the partner’s equity starts with the beginning balance. The partner’s
contribution and the share in net income is added. Withdrawals are then deducted.
Remember that the net income was distributed based on the agreement of the partners. The total net income is multiplied by the
percentage share for each partner, for example Diana have 30% share, so ₱75,650 multiplied by 30%.
Amount of
Partner Net Income % Share Share
Diana 75,650 30% ₱ 22,695
Emina 75,650 40% 30,260
Fanny 75,650 30% 22,695
100% ₱ 75,650
CORPORATION
In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall defined a corporation as “an artificial being, invisible, intangible, and existing only in
contemplation of law.” This definition is the foundation for the prevailing legal interpretation that a corporation is an entity separate
and distinct from its owners. (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2015)

A corporation is created by law, and its continued existence depends upon the statutes of the state in which it is incorporated. As a
legal entity, a corporation has most of the rights and privileges of a person. The major exceptions relate to privileges that only a
living person can exercise, such as the right to vote or to hold public office. A corporation is subject to the same duties and
responsibilities as a person. For example, it must abide by the laws, and it must pay taxes. (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2015)
Compared to a sole proprietorship or a partnership, a corporation’s owner, called stockholders, may number to thousands. It is easy
to transfer ownership in a corporation. This results in a fast turnover of owners. “If we maintain one capital account for each
stockholder, we would end up with thousands of capital accounts.” (Salazar, 2017) The number of stockholders will also be an issue
in the distribution of revenues.
A corporation’s stockholder’s equity account is divided into two parts, paid-in capital and retained earnings. The paid in capital
represents the amounts given or will be given to the corporation in exchange for its common stock. A common stock, represented
by a stock certificate, is the ownership right in a corporation. Paid-in capital is composed of capital stock and additional capital
stock. Capital stock represents the par value of the common shares issued. Par value is the minimum amount that a corporation
can issue its stocks to shareholders. If the consideration received in issuing shares is more than its par value, the excess is
considered additional paid-in capital. For example, if the corporation’s common stock’s par value is ₱10 and received ₱12 the
excess ₱2 is considered additional paid in capital and the ₱10 will be recorded as capital stock.
Retained earnings account reports the undistributed earnings of the corporation. The balance of the retained earnings comes from
the net income or net loss and reduced by the dividends distributed from the incorporation of the business up to the date of the
SFP. Dividends are the income of the corporation distributed to the stockholders.
Illustration – CORPORATION (Salazar, D. R. (2017). Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management 2. Quezon City: Rex
Bookstore Inc.)
GHI Incorporated was established in 20X0. The corporation issued 10,000, ₱10 par value shares of stocks at an issue price of ₱20 per
share. On July 15, 20X1, the corporation issued 1,000 new shares at an issue price of ₱25 per share.
The corporation reported net income of ₱56,785 and ₱65,870 in 20X0 and 20X1, respectively. Dividends of ₱2.15 per share on
record as of December 31, 20X0 were declared and distributed to shareholders on February 1, 20X1. There were no dividends
distributed on the first year of operations of the corporation.
Prepare the 20X1 statement of changes in equity of GHI Incorporated in good form.

Explanation: The beginning balance is the of the capital stock and additional paid-in capital is the stock issuances during the
incorporation2 of the business. The amount recorded in during the incorporation of the business for capital stock is the par value.
The excess of the issue price from the par value is the additional paid in capital. During the year 20X0 the corporations net income is
₱56,785. Just like in a sole proprietorship and a partnership, the closing entries for corporation is the same except that the final
amount of the income summary is closed to retained earnings. The retained earnings account is a permanent account. During the
year 20X1 the same transaction transpired with capital stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. The only addition for
the reporting period is the issuance of dividends.

Incorporation means the registration of the company with the necessary regulatory agency. The registration is needed to recognize
the legal identity of the corporation. Here in the Philippines, the governing body for corporations is the Securities and Exchange
Commission or commonly known as the SEC.

VI. Assessment
1. Compare and contrast the SoCE for a sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation.
2. Explain the terms: contribution, drawings and accumulation of net income. Why is this important for users of the SoCE?
3. Will you be confident in preparing and SoCE on your own?
