1. No consistent basis across the accounting standards with regard to when to send items to the OCI, this makes things unclear for the users
2. Comparability of profit based performance is reduced because of the difference in OCI treatment In IFRS and US Gaap. 3. Users of Financial Statements usually ignore the OCI because it is not related to operating profit, thus ignoring the material losses. 4. Not understandable to users about which item to recycle to OCI and when, as these gains or losses are recorded in the period they did not occur, contradicting the definition of icome and expenses. |
