    The answer is Accumulated other comprehensive income

    Explanation:

    The statement of accumulated other comprehensive income is specific to U. S GAAP. It is known as statement of comprehensive under International Financial Reporting Standards.

    The statement records losses and gains that are unrealized. For instance a company whose investment is in shares, would have to record the investment at fair value, that is the market price at each year end, any gains or losses arising from such valuation, especially if the shares are held for long term, is posted to the accumulated other comprehensive income or statement of comprehensive income.

    The reason is that the shares are still held within the business not yet disposed of, hence the gains or losses are not realized and should not be recognized in profit or loss.
