Shareholder Notes

Shareholder's equity refers to the ownership interest in a corporation. It is represented by shares of stock which provide limited liability, the ability to transfer ownership, and continued existence of the corporation even if shareholders change. When a corporation issues stock, it records the par value of shares in share capital and any excess received in share premium. Treasury shares refer to previously issued shares that are reacquired by the company.
