Authorization is just permission to sell shares of stock; no action has actually taken place yet. Therefore, there is no journal entry for a stock authorization. Shares issued is the number of shares a corporation has sold to stockholders for the first time.
What a share register needs to include member name and addresses. the dates on which entries on the register are made. the number of shares in each entry. the total number of shares held by each member. whether the member is holding the shares for its own benefit (beneficially held) or for the benefit of others.
Here, the number of issues stocks refers to shares sold by the firm to shareholders. Authorized stocks also comprise shares issued to the public. Thus, the following formula is used for calculation: Authorized Shares = Shares Issued + Yet to be Issued Shares.
