Course Description
If a company is publicly-held, it is required to report earnings per share information. A publicly-held entity is an organization whose debt or equity securities are traded on an exchange or the over-the-counter market, or which is required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The investment community and financial press closely follow earnings per share information, considering it to be a key view of corporate profitability.
Accounting for Earnings per Share notes the types of organizations that are required to present earnings per share information and describes the requirements for calculating and presenting basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. It also addresses the calculation methods used to derive earnings per share, including the treasury stock method, reverse treasury stock method, and two-class method.
