Financial statement presentation — Other comprehensive income
Background
This project involves a proposal for a possible limited scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements that would require all entities to present a single statement of comprehensive income, so removing the 'two statement approach' (separate statements of income and comprehensive income) currently permitted by IAS 1.
This project arose out of the comprehensive project on financial statement presentation.
Current status of the project
This project has been completed, but the option of using two statements has ultimately been retained. The IASB issued Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1) on 16 June 2011.
