What is substance over form and how does this concept relate to the presentation of preferred stock?
Substance over form means that a company must look not only at the legal form but also at the economic substance of the security to decide whether it is debt or equity. When preferred stock carries certain provisions, the stock is very similar to bonds and notes payable. Using this concept, management must evaluate whether such securities represent debt and should be presented in the Liability category of the balance sheet or whether they represent equity and should be presented in the Equity category.
