L’obiettivo principale dello studio è quello di testare l’assunzione, validata da una parte della letteratura, che l’Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) items reporting sia value relevant per gli investitori in misura incrementale, ossia che fornisca loro informazioni aggiuntive rispetto al reddito netto. La rassegna della letteratura evidenzia risultati contraddittori. Gli autori ipotizzano che una delle principali cause dell’inconsistenza dei risultati dipenda dall’utilizzo di dati che si riferiscono a periodi precedenti l’introduzione degli standard contabili sul Comprehensive Income (CI). Di conseguenza, hanno testato l’ipotesi di ricerca utilizzando dati relativi a periodi successivi allo IAS 1 revised 2007, in cui è esplicitamente richiesto alle aziende di presentare le componenti in bilancio. Il campione è costituto dai gruppi quotati alla borsa valori di Milano. L’analisi di regressione fornisce evidenza della value relevance incrementale dell’OCI rispetto al reddito netto.

The main aim of the article is to test that the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is incrementally value relevant for investors with respect to net income. Literature review highlights mixed results. The authors, hypothesizing that one of the main causes of the inconsistency of results is the use of OCI data from the period before implementation of comprehensive income reporting (as if OCI numbers), used in their value relevance regression analysis as reported OCI numbers in the listed companies’ financial accounts. The sample comprehends the groups listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. Our evidence supports the conclusion that the as reported OCI numbers are incrementally value relevant for investors.

The IAS/IFRS compliant groups have been disclosing comprehensive income since 2009, when the IAS 1-revised became effective. This paper aims to investigate the value relevance of comprehensive income and its components in European banks and other financial institutions. The research has been developed by having a sample of 166 European listed groups whose data have been collected in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 (498 firm-year observations) consolidated financial statements. In contrast to previous findings, related to all the sectors, our research highlights a higher value relevance of comprehensive income in respect to net income. Moving to the single OCI components, our results suggest that gains and losses on remeasuring available-for-sale financial assets (AFSit) are value relevant in European banks and other financial institutions.
