Are dividends paid to common shareholders and foreign currency translation gains and losses included in a firm’s other comprehensive income?

Dividends paid

Foreign currency translation gains and losses

Yes

Other comprehensive income includes non-owner transactions that affect shareholders’ equity and are not recognized in net income. Dividends paid are transactions with the owners of the firm, so dividends paid are not included in other comprehensive income. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are non-owner transactions that are not recognized in net income. Thus, foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income.
