Proposed Format of the Statement of Financial Position
The proposed revisions to the statement of financial position outlined in Phase B of the FASB-IASB Financial Statement Presentation project (discussed in Chapter2) are illustrated in Exhibit 7.5. This proposal would no longer divide assets and liabilities into separate categories on the balance sheet; it groups assets and liabilities together under the categories of operating, investing, and financing activities while continuing to provide a separate section for stockholders equity.
