its shares

Example:
, Lecture 2 - Income statement
It shows the financial performance of a company. It essentially explains the changes of a company. It is
very popular statements for analysts, creditors and investors because it is used to predict future
performance and earnings.
The key elements: revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
IFRS prescribes the key heading to be disclosed in the income statement but it doesn’t prescribe a
specific format. This leads to different presentations of I/S at both national and international level.
IMPORTANT: the I/S and the B/S are explicitly linked.

information regarding operations of a company. It is important to access a company’s ability to generate
and meet future cash flows.
