| 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.

| ====Comprehensive income and profit or loss====
| |
| | |
| Comprehensive income includes both:
| |
| | |
| *Profit or loss for the period; and
| |
| | |
| *Other comprehensive income for the period.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Many entities report their profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two separate statements.
| |
| | |
| In these cases, there are FIVE primary financial statements: cash flows, changes in equity, comprehensive income, financial position, and profit or loss.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The statement of profit or loss is also known as the ''income statement''.
