Adrian MM. (X) Jan 1, 2009:
Capital social The dictionaries quoted above, plus most others, overlook the full company-law textbook-title: EQUITY share capital, bringing into the picture this meaning of equity vs. loan stock: www.macdonaldhenderson.co.uk/jargon/equitysharecapital.html
Michael Powers (PhD) Dec 31, 2008:
"actualizar" and "to discount" in accounting Interesting, Richard, and an excellent source. The Collins Unabridged Spanish-English Dictionary gives "actualizar" (contabilidad) to discount. So, based on that, a possibility would be "discounted capital stock."
Richard Cadena Dec 31, 2008:
Translation of "actualización" Tom West's Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business has the following:
Actualizar - To Restate (for purposes of inflation only)
Actualización - Adjustment for inflation, restatement of amounts based on changes in the National Consumer Price Index
Michael Powers (PhD) Dec 31, 2008:
Translation of "capital social" According to Alcaraz Varó y Hughes, en their Diccionario de términos jurídicos, "capital social" can be translated as follows: "capital stock, corporate capital, share capital, capital of a partnership."

RESTATED CAPITAL STOCK

Capital Social = Capital Stock
Actualización = Restatement (noun)
Actualizar = To Restate (verb)
Actualizado(a) = Restated (past partticiple used as an adjective)

Restatement as defined by Barron's Dictionary of Accounting Terms
A reiteration or republication of a financial statement or document, such as a balance sheet or income statement, in a manner that incorporates revisions and changes on accounting principles or policies.

Comment: Actualización - Restatement in Mexican accounting involves inflation accounting. A "restatement" in this case is really an adjustment due to inflation, that is, such adjustments are increases in the pertinent amount(s) caused by inflation.

Check out Mexico's Boletín B-10 "Los Efectos de la Inflación en la Información Financiera y sus Cinco Adecuaciones".

In conclusion, "restated capital stock" is capital stock that has been adjusted for inflation.

Hope this helps.

The following definition of "actualización de capital social" in the Diccionario de Finanzas / inglés-español by Contador Público Andres Cué Vega, a retired partner of AGN-Prieto Ruiz de Velasco, S. C., a Mexican member firm of the AGN network.

Actualización de capital social (restatement of capital stock): Esta actualización se realiza analizando el capital por fechas de aportación, desde el inicial hacia el actual y aplicando el índice de inflación desde la fecha de aportación hasta la fecha del balance.

Restated Capital Stock would be for US purposes, whereas Restated Share Capital would be for UK pùrposes.

In my experience with the Mexico City based member firms of international public accounting firms, all of them use "restated" for "actualizado" when dealing with inflation and Bulletin B-10.

In addition, financial statements issued in Mexico with historical amounts are subject to a qualified opinion, which is considered as a departure from the provisions of Bulletin B-10. Companies sometimes issue two sets of financial statements: one with historical amounts to be sent to the parent company abroad and the other with restated amounts for local Mexican purposes, pursuant to Bulletin B-10.
Note from asker:
I completely agree with this explanation as these financial mention the influence of inflation effects in the financial information presented and they are mexican financials and they mention Bulletin 10 too. While I would have gone for adjusted share capital myself, this explanation is so sensible that I think I may just write Restated share capital now. Thanks.

agree Michael Powers (PhD) : This is possible, too, based on your excellent source (Thomas West). Also note that "discounted capital stock" is germane in accounting and backed up by the excellent Collins Unabridged Spanish-English Dictionary. - Mike :)

disagree Michael Powers (PhD) : Sorry, Tarik. "social" does not translate as "social" in Spanish when dealing with business. Usually it translates as "corporate" although in this case there is a set phrase, "capital stock." "Actualized" is never the way "actualizado" is translated.

No need to apologize, María Eugenia, it happens to me quite a bit, too. It is mighty noble of you to acknowledge another's answer. I can't take credit - it comes from Thomas West's Law and Business Dicitonary ("capital stock"). I'm simply the messenger.
