Income Statements
The Income Statement

This indicates financial performance over a period of time. It is usually done at the end of a financial year (30th June), but an income statement can be made up at other times, e.g., if a business wishes to apply for a loan, the bank may ask for a more recent income statement.

The other names for this kind of statement are Revenue Statement and Profit and Loss Statement.
