Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) • OCI includes changes in values that have not been realized which might represent: • Items that will be recognized in income once realized (i.e. fair value changes in financial assets) • Items that will be matched by an offsetting gain or loss in a future period (i.e. a qualifying hedge of a future transaction) • Items that will impact retained earnings directly and not “recycle” through to net earnings (i.e. revaluation surpluses on property, plant and equipment) LO 3-1
