The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued Exposure Draft on proposed amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to improve the presentation of items of other comprehensive income (OCI). At present entities have an option in IAS 1 to present either a statement of comprehensive income or two separate statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. This exposure draft proposes to require that entities present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in separate sections of a continuous statement.
