Record board minutes approving a dividend declaration

POSThttps://app.speybooks.com/api/v1/dividends/board-minutes

Records the board resolution that approves a dividend distribution and opens its allocation. The attendees are the directors present and must be active directors. The approved total must be positive and cannot exceed the retained profit available for the financial year, checked against cumulative retained earnings net of what earlier resolutions have already approved; an insufficient figure is refused. On success the resolution opens in the approved state with its full approved total available to declare, and the creation is recorded in the audit trail.
