In March 2018 the Board published its Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. It suggests that the SOPL should provide the primary source of information about the entity’s financial performance for the reporting period. However, the Board may also provide exceptional circumstances where income or expenses arising from the change in the carrying amount of an asset or liability should be included in OCI.

The purpose of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (PLOCI) is to show an entity’s financial performance in a way that is useful to a wide range of users. The statement should be classified and aggregated in a manner that makes it understandable and comparable. An entity may refer to the combined statement as the Statement of comprehensive income.
