''Financial reporting''.
A model of a financial or other process, especially one containing random components.  
 
In financial reporting, primary statements are the main accounting statements required to be presented.
 
 
These normally include statements of:
 
* Financial position (balance sheet).
* Comprehensive income (profit or loss).
* Changes in equity.
* 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.
 
 
====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''.
