the Company's equity capital


Explanation:
Domaine(s) : comptabilité
finance


1 / 1

owners' equity

Syn.
equity
equity capital capitaux propres n. m. pl.

Syn.
avoir des propriétaires n. m.
fonds propres n. m. pl.

Déf. :
Composante du bilan représentant le droit de propriété sur les actifs, après déduction des passifs externes.

Note(s) :
Bien que les capitaux propres constituent un solde résiduel, on y distingue souvent les sommes investies par le propriétaire exploitant, les associés ou les actionnaires, et les bénéfices réalisés et non distribués.
Le total des capitaux propres constitue également l'actif net, c'est-à-dire la différence entre le total de l'actif et le total du passif externe. En France et en Belgique, les capitaux propres d'une société comprennent les apports, les réserves provenant de profits non distribués, les écarts de réévaluation et le report à nouveau, c'est-à-dire, en France, les profits en instance d'affectation. En Belgique, le report à nouveau comprend les profits provisoirement non affectés; le bilan belge étant établi après affectation, il n'y a pas de profits en instance d'affectation.
