The actual income account and amount does not change. The only impact will be in yield analysis, but there is no option for comparing yields on two parcels of the same asset so this is a moot point. So the best option is to just record the income even though it will be split to all parcels of the stock.<br><br>Other readers please note that the above is not correct for distributions that include a tax deferred component as the effects of that do need to be isolated to parcels that earned the income and should not affect parcels not involved in the event.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>MySFSun, 28 Sep 2008 20:33:52 GMTMySF2http://www.mysf.com.au/members/Topic4049-23-1.aspxHow do we record the dividends where there are new shares purchased between the record date and payment of the dividend.</P><P>The specific case is where BKN shares were purchased under an rights issue, but they do not participate in the dividend. The purchase date (4 Sept) is the same as the dividend payment date, and the system wants to create entries against both classes of shares.Wed, 24 Sep 2008 22:32:45 GMTblue-sky
