The statement of comprehensive income: purpose and importance to the
organisation
The purpose of the statement of comprehensive income is to calculate the
profit or loss for an organisation during a particular period.
This statement is generally prepared more than once per year.
Profit can be described as the difference between all receipts (income) and
expenses for a particular period. It is an important statement for
management since it can tell management a lot about how efficient the
business is operated.
However, organisations should not only focus on whether the business is
making profit but also on how it is generated.
