Chapter 4: The Income Statement, Comprehensive Income, and the Statement of Cash Flows
The purpose of the income statement is to summarize the profit‐generating activities that occurred during a particular reporting period. Comprehensive income includes net income as well as a few gains and losses that are not part of net income and are considered other comprehensive income items instead.
The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about the cash receipts and cash disbursements of an enterprise that occurred during the period.
This chapter has a twofold purpose: (1) to consider important issues dealing with the content, presentation, and disclosure of net income and other components of comprehensive income and (2) to provide an overview of the statement of cash flows, which is covered in depth in Chapter 21.
