Comprehensive income – basic question

    I’m confused as to what Comp Inc really is. I know that the formula is NI + OCI = CI.

    So my question is, unless a company has the components of OCI (Pension adjs, AFS unrealized gains/losses, Foreign currency items or cash flow hedges), then the stmt of comp income isn’t needed?

    I know this is a basic question but I’ve never seen a stmt of comp inc in the real world and wondering when it’s used…

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Yes, if there is no OCI, and no accumulated OCI, NI = CI

    Though you will be lucky to receive such an easy question on FAR 🙂

    Comprehensive income exists regardless if components of other comprehensive income are present.
