Calls in arrears are payments made by a company to its shareholders in a period other than the original payment date. This can happen when a company is unable to pay its dividends on time, or when a shareholder purchases a company share at a price higher than the company's book value.
Calls in advance are payments made by a company to its shareholders before the original payment date. This can happen when a company has excess cash, or when a shareholder exercises their right to convert a convertible debt into common stock.
Both calls in arrears and calls in advance are recorded in the company's financial statements. The company will need to calculate the amount of cash paid to shareholders in these periods and will need to adjust the share capital accordingly
