Accounting entries refer to accounting entries that indicate the direction, name and amount of borrowing and lending accounts according to the contents of economic business. An accounting entry consists of three elements: the direction of borrowing and lending, the name of the corresponding account (subject) and the amount to be recorded. According to the number of accounts involved, it is divided into simple accounting entries and compound accounting entries. Simple accounting entries refer to accounting entries that only involve the debit of one account and the credit of another account, that is, accounting entries that borrow a loan; Compound accounting entries refer to accounting entries composed of two or more corresponding accounts, that is, accounting entries with one loan and multiple loans, one loan and multiple loans or multiple loans.

Which subject does profit distribution belong to?

1. Profit distribution is an owner's equity account, which mainly accounts for the distribution of net profits or losses and the balance after the distribution of net profits (or losses).

2. Main purpose: adjust the "profit this year" account. Debit means decrease, and credit means increase. The undistributed profit is a detailed account, and the accumulated undistributed profit or accumulated uncompensated loss at the end of the year is accounted for. At the end of the year, the enterprise will transfer the net profit (or loss) realized throughout the year from "current year's profit" to the detailed account of "profit distribution-undistributed profit".

3. Profit Distribution-The credit balance of the detailed account of undistributed profit is the accumulated undistributed profit of the enterprise, and if it is the debit balance, it is the accumulated uncompensated loss of the enterprise.

To sum up, the subsidiary announced the distribution of dividends, and then the parent company received the dividends of the subsidiary, which should be accounted for by the subjects of "dividends receivable" and "investment income". Dividends receivable refer to the cash dividends that enterprises should receive and the profits that other units should distribute. Investment income refers to the income obtained by enterprises or individuals from foreign investment (the losses incurred by the government are negative), including dividend income, bond interest income and profits shared by joint ventures with other units.
