Alt 2 (see next pages) illustrates the presentation of comprehensive income in tuo statements. whichever presentation is selected, the distinction is retained between items recognised in profit or loss and items recognised in other comprehensive income. The only difference between the one-statement and the two-statement approaches is that, for the latter, a total is struck in the separate income statement at 'profit for the year' (this is the same amount as is presented as a sub-total under the one-statement approach). This profit for the year' is then the starting point for the statement of comprehensive income, which is required to be presented imme diately folowing the income statement. Under the two-statement approach, the analysis of profit for the year' between the amount attributable to the ouners of the parent and the amosent attributable to non-controlling interests is preserted at the end of the separate income statement. Irrespective of whether the one-statement or the two-statement approach is followed, for the components of other comprebensive income, additional presentation options are available, as follows. • The individual components may be presented net of tax in the statement of comprehensive income (as illestrated on the previous page), or they may be presented gross with a single line deduction for tax (see Alt 2). Whichever option is selected, the income tax relating to each component of comprehensive income must be disdosed, either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the notes (see note 29). · For redassification adjustments, an aggregated presentation may be adopted, with separate disclosure of the current year ga in or loss and reclassification adjustments in the notes (see previous page and note 29). Alternatively, using a disaggregated presentation, the current year gain or loss and reclassification adjustments are shown separately in the statement of comprehensive income (see Alt 2). IAS 1.90 IAS 1.93 Alt 1 aggregates expenses according to their function.
