Note: With an increase in the use of fair value measurement in the financial position, there was a need to separate realised gains and losses from unrealised gains and loss. Realised gains and losses (using accrual accounting) are include in profit or loss. Unrealised gains and losses in other comprehensive income. Using this concept other comprehensive income became a sort of sub-statement for equity, it specifies movements with an unrealised gain or loss effect that would show either:
- directly in profit or loss,
- directly in equity, or
- directly in equity with reclassification to profit or loss upon realisation,
if the statement of other comprehensive income would not be in use.
