2 – Financial Statements:
Financial statements are the main output of the financial accounting process. They are the instruments
that contain financial information about a business entity which different users of financial statements use as
basis in order to make an informed decision.
A complete set of financial statements is composed of the following:
1. Statement of Financial Position
2. Income Statement
3. Statement of Comprehensive Income
4. Statement of Changes in Equity
5. Statement of Cash Flows
6. Notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Classification and Presentation of General Ledger Accounts in the “Statement of Financial Position”:
In classifying general ledger accounts, the rule to follow is known as “materiality and aggregation.”
Aggregation means that similar accounts are grouped together and presented in the statement of financial
position as a single “line item.” For example, the accounts cash on hand, cash in bank, petty cash fund, and
other accounts that are cash in nature are grouped in a line item known as “cash and cash equivalents.” The
line item “cash and cash equivalents” is shown on the face of the statement of financial position while the
details of the line item are shown in the “notes to financial statements.” Another example is the line item known
as “trade and other receivables” which includes accounts like accounts receivable, notes receivable, advances
to employees, subscription receivable, and other accounts which are receivable in nature. Materiality, on the
other hand, means that if an account has a balance which is material or substantial in relation to the total of the
line item, it can be shown as a separate line item. For example, an account title “Cash in Bank-PNB” has a
balance of P100,000 while the total line item “Cash and Cash Equivalents,” where “Cash in Bank-PNB” is
included, amounts to P300,000. The balance of “Cash in Bank-PNB” can be shown as a separate line item. (i.e.
separate from Cash and Cash Equivalents).
PAS 1 gives a list of the basic balance sheet line items as follows:
Current Assets: Current Liabilities:
Cash and Cash Equivalents Trade and Other Payables
Financial Asset at Fair Value Current Provisions
Trade and Other Receivables Short-term Borrowings
Inventories Current Portion of Long-term Debt
Prepaid Expenses Current Tax Liability
Non-current Assets: Non-current Liabilities:
Property, Plant, and Equipment Non-current Portion of Long-term Debt
Long-term Investments Finance Lease Liability
Intangible Assets Deferred Tax Liability
Other Current Assets Long-term Obligations to Company Officers
Long-term Deferred Revenue
Shareholders’ Equity:
Share Capital
Reserves
Retained Earnings

Classification and Presentation of General Ledger Accounts in the Income Statement and Statement of
Comprehensive Income:
An income statement is a formal statement showing the business entity’s revenue, expenses, gains,
losses, and the corresponding net income or net loss in accordance with GAAP. A statement of comprehensive
income, on the other hand, comprises items of unrealized gains and unrealized losses that are not shown as
gains or losses in the income statement but are considered components of “other comprehensive income.” To
provide a concrete example, assume a business entity purchased shares of stocks of another corporation for
P100,000 as an investment. The basis for measurement of this investment as mandated by PAS is “fair value”
except if fair value cannot be determined, in which case the basis for measurement is cost. Assume further that
on balance sheet date, the fair value of this investment in the stock market goes down to P80,000. In this case,
an unrealized loss of P20,000 is recognized. However, it will not be shown in the income statement as “other
expense.” Instead, it will be shown in the statement of comprehensive income as unrealized loss of P20,000
and in the statement of financial position under the line item “reserves” under the shareholders’ equity section.
It should be emphasized that it is considered an “unrealized loss” because the investment has not yet been
sold. In other words, there is actually no transaction yet. The only reason it is recognized is because
recognition is required by PAS. A business entity has the option of presenting two separate statements:
income statement; and statement of comprehensive income. Alternatively, it can combine the two statements
and present a single statement titled “Statement of Comprehensive Income.”
