In the FSP project, the boards also proposed making the operating, financial position distinction not only on the statement of cash flow, but also on the statements of financial position and comprehensive income. It is commonly understood that investors and valuation theory focus primarily on an entity’s operations (e.,g Penman 2012). Thus, making clear the distinction between operating, financing and investing should aid investors in making their capital investment decisions, A challenge to this focus us that there is no well-accepted definition of operating activities, which raises concerns over comparability and the opportunistic exercise of management discretion. Related to measurement, this focus raises the question of whether different measurement bases should be used for operating, financing, and investing activities. For example, for nonfinancial entities perhaps fair value would be used for financing and investing activities, and unmodified or modified historical cost would be used for operating activities. What those alternative measurement bases might be is an open question given the concerns summarized in qualitative characteristics. Such concepts would also need to explain how financial statements should be designed to ensure that the information embedded in the measurement is conveyed to financial statement users in the most in the most informative way.
