Understanding Financial Statements, Goodwill, And Temporary Differences

Statement of comprehensive income

Statement of comprehensive income is one of the components of the financial statements. The two major components of this statement include net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes items like pension adjustments, unrealised gains or losses from available from sale securities, gains or losses because of foreign currency translations etc. These items do not affect the income statement directly. It is usually followed by the income statement in the financial statement. However, the company also has an option to combine the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income.
