Talk:Financial statement

message: These things are called "financial statements". We don't really refer to a "financial statement" of a company. Hence, the article should, pace Neonumbers, remain here, jguk 11:55, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I think it would be an improvement to replace the analogy section with brief definitions of the 4 statements with maybe an illustration on how they relate to each other. Comments? --Foggy Morning 15:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If the original tagger has since registered and/or is watching the page, or if anyone else feels differently, please revert & discuss here.  Ivanvector (talk) 16:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup tag 

message: FASB ASC 958-205-05-5 says that "A complete set of financial statements" includes a Statement of Financial Position, A Statement of Activities, and a Statement of Cash Flows. Just like any other business. I'd rather not put in a "citation" tag there until one of the grownups reviews it. :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shurikt (talk • contribs) 17:48, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

message: "Employees also need these reports in making collective bargaining agreements (CBA) with the management, in the case of labor unions or for individuals in discussing their compensation, promotion and rankings." compensation, promotion should be compenstions, promotions.--Shuer (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

message: I don't understand the difference on the first section, 2. Income Statement and 5.Comprehensive Income Statement.
Why separate them? Why have a different category for a more comprehensive income statement, if it's still a type of income statement? Ejenriquez (talk) 05:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't a difference, that entry was added a while back by someone who didn't say why they were adding it and didn't provide a source, and I have removed it. There are some types of transaction that might not be included when determining net income on the income statement, but they are included elsewhere on that statement. See other comprehensive income for more detailed info. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:59, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
