It is the opening balance of equity Step #2 Next, determine the net income or loss booked by the firm. Step #3 Next, determine the value of the dividend declared by the management for the reporting period.

2. What is the purpose of a statement of changes in equity?
The statement of changes in equity assists financial statement users in identifying the factors that contribute to a change in the owners' equity over the accounting period.Moreover, it helps unlock the detailed financial information that is not usually found on a balance sheet, as the data specifying equity assets is not logged distinctly in the other financial statements.
