Guidance notes on statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Just as it is stipulated by AASB 101 that there only ways of presenting statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income is as single statement or two statements is exactly what
has been done in this question. Whereby the use of single statements format is what has been
applied as it was the specification given in the question that is to prepare one statement covering
both profit or loss and other comprehensive income part Maynard (2017.Pg 4)
The below note numbers illustrate the accounting concept and regulations used
preparation and presentation of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statements.
Note 1;
Although it is not outline what kind of business Pak Ltd is engaged with we are aware that it
operates a business of selling products and possibly products that it has manufactured itself this
is as per the info in the trial balance where we are told that the company has finished and raw
material products then we are further informed that it has cost of sales Akhmetshin(2015.Pg
900).
Note 2;
This note outlines that every statement in financial reporting has to have an heading or rather a
title and period of reporting as stipulated in AASB 101.85.Whereby the face of operations should
be presented via outline the company name, the item being presented and the period that is being
presented for. This cuts across all other statements not just this of profit, loss and other income.
This note further stand to defend the fact that all financial and corporate regulations have been
applied the likes of IFRS and Australian 2001 corporation act. This note likewise outline that the
financial year of reporting is 31st December 2017 but with of course subsequence balances
brought forward for financial year 2016.
Note 3;

FINANCIAL REPORTING
Revenue is reported as it is in the trial balance reporting period together with cost of sales too
which do not have any item in the additional information affecting it. Expenses have been
factored in but on functional basis as stipulated in AASB 101.99.Expenses are factored
depending on the proximity it has towards revenue generation. Employee and warranty expenses
are factored in because they were paid in that year as part of the respective provisions set in
place. For Income tax expense is treated as a different component since this is the share of the
state over the income made. Robinson (2015.Pg 27).
Note 4;
This note is on finance cost whereby have include interest expense as part of finance cost
because have assumed this expense is on the interest on the loan facility given to the company
whereas other borrowing expense is too include because it is expensed under the borrowings
made Henderson(2015.Pg 38)
Guidance Notes On; Statement of Changes in Equity
The law as per AASB 134.10 expects that all preparation of statements of changes in equity be
done with a title heading and total, sub-totals with them. At the left side of the statement of
changes in equity it is expected to see all the items referenced there with their top equivalent
representation and the amount at their right side.
Note 5;
All the items appearing in this platform are mostly the item that has changes in equity part of the
financial position. Dividend reinvested portion involves that part of paid dividend whose owners
have agreed to reinvest this amount so as part of their shareholding portion. Dividend paid of
150000 likewise forms part of this because it reduces the retained earnings
Note 6;
The revaluation surpluses figure in the statement of changes of equity is a sum up of both land
and investment i.e. 50000+42000.The income tax on this revaluation surplus is likewise required
to be factored in so as to recognize the net effect.
Note 7;
Other comprehensive income Bradbury (2016.Pg 50) in this platform is not directly recognized
since they are not presented, for example items like foreign exchange rate gain or loss there is no
information relating to it, gain or loss sale of financial instruments, gain or loss of fair value cash
flow hedges, income on associate investment share, income from gain or loss of defined benefit
plans.

Ideally all these components appear but there is no income, gain or loss from it is recognized.
