Concept of P/L and OCI
Def
P/L
the total of income less expenses, excluding the components of other comprehensive income’
OCI
‘items of income and expense (including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognised in profit or loss as required or permitted by other International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS®)
TOCI
the change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other events, other than those changes resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners’.
Myth and incorrect
only realised gains are included in the statement of profit or loss (SOPL) and that only unrealised gains and losses are included in the OCI
For example
gains on the revaluation of land and buildings accounted for in accordance with IAS 16, Property Plant and Equipment (IAS 16 PPE), are recognised in OCI and accumulate in equity in Other Components of Equity (OCE).
gains on the revaluation of land and buildings accounted for in accordance with IAS 40, Investment Properties, are recognised in SOPL and are part of the Retained Earnings (RE).
-
Currently, we have rules based approach rather than pinciples based approach to this issue of which statement the gains and losses should be reported to
It is down to individual accounting standards to direct when gains and losses are to be reported in OCI.

Conclusion
-
reclassifications from OCI to SOPL are permitted '…in a future period when doing so results in the [SOPL] providing more relevant information, or providing a more faithful representation of the entity’s financial performance for that future period'.
However, if there is no clear basis to identify the period or the amount that should be reclassified, the Board, when developing IFRS standards, may decide that no classification should occur.
