Answer / viswanathan
Reserves & surplus fund is created out of profits that are to be shared between the partners or share holders . Therefore fund created out of profit is a liability to the company. Reserves & Surplus fund is created to meet future contingencies. If the contingency does not arise as expected this fund can be distributed among partners or distributed as dividends among shareholders. It can be used for issuing bonus shares. The decision how to make use of the funds will be done by the partners or in the case of a company in the AGM.

An important question why reserves and surplus are shown on
the assets side of the balance sheet. To answer this question
lets know about the principle of accounting "Convention of
conservatism" states that "anticipate no profits but for
provide all possible losses .Therefore reserves and surplus
are so created to meet the contingencies of the business .Here
contingencies are those obligations which may or may not to be
paid .However, in order to pose any future liability reserves
are created so that a business may not hamper on such events
and hence it the liability for the business.
