Accounting for financial results

As a financial result of the activities of any of the economic entities, it is customary to consider profit or loss. This indicator is determined by comparing the income of the organization and its expenses. That is why it is so important to determine the content of the "income" and "expenses" sections. From the point of view of accounting, it is customary to consider revenues as cash inflows to the organization, in this case, their equivalents can be considered, which can be a stimulus to the growth of company's own sources. A cost is called the outflow of property, which causes a decrease in the sources of the firm. Income generation, in this case, implies an increase in the organization of economic benefits due to the receipt of funds, or a reduction in liabilities that can lead to asset growth. Expenses mean a reduction in benefits due to liabilities or asset retirement. Accounting for financial results in any of these cases shows the current situation of the organization.

The final results of the organizations' activity are presented in the special Form No. 2 "Profit and Loss Statement". There is a whole set of normative documents that are designed to record the financial performance of the enterprise:

The final indicator is the balance profit or loss, which is expressed in the form of an algebraic sum of the results obtained from financial and economic activities.

Profit or loss is the amount received from the sale of products, goods, services, works, income from participation in some organizations, interest in receipt or payment, as well as other operating expenses or income. In this case, accounting for financial results consists in the following: the result from the sale of products is usually expressed in the form of the difference between revenue and costs for the production process with its subsequent sale.

The starting point for calculating the profit indicators is the company's sales turnover. The end of the production cycle is characterized by proceeds from sales, as well as the return of funds advanced in the production process into a cash form. So begins a new round of money turnover.
