Dear Ayman

Thank you for asking this question. It is quite an interesting question as majority (including me) struggled to prepare this in our professional exams. :) 

The following items are presented in the statement of changes in equity:

  • Total comprehensive income for the period, showing separately the total amounts attributable to the parent’s owners and to non-controlling interest.
  • For each component of equity, the effects of retrospective application or retrospective restatement recognised in accordance with IAS8, ‘Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates, and errors’.
  • For each component of equity, a reconciliation between the carrying amount at the beginning and the end of the period, separately disclosing changes resulting from:

              –  profit or loss;

              –  other comprehensive income; and

              –  transactions with owners in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions by and distributions to owners and changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control. 

The amounts of dividends recognised as distributions to owners during the period, and amounts per share, shall be disclosed.
