They should be classified and disclosed separately based on their nature |
Extraordinary items are exceptional occurrences that deviate from the usual business operations, such as losses resulting from theft, earthquakes, or floods.

This separation aims to facilitate a clear comprehension of their impact on the current and future cash flows of the enterprise. |
