Financial reporting.
The main accounting statements required to be presented.
These normally include:
- Statement of financial position.
- Statement of comprehensive income.
- Statement of changes in equity.
- Statement of cash flows.
The primary statements are supported by notes providing additional and more detailed financial information.
The names of the primary financial statements are not normally mandatory, and they also differ according the accounting regime under which an entity is reporting.
The statement of financial position is also known as the balance sheet.
Comprehensive income includes both:
- Profit or loss for the period; and
- Other comprehensive income for the period.
Many entities report profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two separate statements.
The statement of profit or loss is also known as the income statement.
