Dividends are recorded in a company's financial statements through a series of journal entries. When a dividend is declared, the company recognizes a liability by debiting retained earnings and crediting dividends payable. Upon payment, the dividends payable account is debited, and cash is credited, reflecting the outflow of cash. This process ensures accurate tracking of the company's earnings distribution to shareholders.
