    Study Notes

    Statement of Changes in Equity

    • IAS 1 requires a statement of changes in equity, detailing changes to equity items due to comprehensive income, owner transactions, and retrospective adjustments.
    • It reconciles opening and closing equity amounts.
    • Two primary sources of equity changes are transactions with owners and income/expense.
    • The statement shows total comprehensive income and its effect on each equity component.

    Components of the Statement

    • Discloses total comprehensive income (allocated between non-controlling interests and parent owners).
    • Shows the effect of retrospective adjustments (per IAS 8).
    • Reconciles opening and closing balances of each equity component, separating changes from profit/loss, OCI, and owner transactions.
    • Analyses OCI impacts on affected equity components (in the statement or notes). This includes OCI source, related tax, and non-controlling interest portion.
    • Details of dividends recognized as distributions to owners, and the per-share dividend amounts (disclosed in the statement or notes).

    Format Considerations

    • A typical format uses a table to show share capital, reserves, retained earnings, and a total column.
    • The table reconciles opening and closing balances.
    • It includes sections for issues of share capital, transfers to/from reserves and retained earnings, gains/losses on property revaluations, share buybacks/return of capital, and exchange differences.
    • It also includes net profit/loss after tax, restatement of prior periods, and dividends declared.
