(P&L, Cash Flow & Balance Sheet)

Finance analyzes those reports and makes plans for the future.

ACCOUNTING Accounting is the systematic and comprehensive recording of financial transactions pertaining to a business. Accounting also refers to the process of summarizing, analyzing and reporting these transactions

A company usually provides 3 accounting reports on a regular basis:

PROFIT & LOSS STATEMENT BALANCE SHEET CASH FLOW STATEMENT

PROFIT 7 LOSS STATEMENT OR INCOME STATEMENT

P&L STATEMENT

A profit and loss statement (P&L) is a financial statement that summarizes the revenues, costs and expenses incurred during a specific period of time, usually a fiscal quarter or year. These records provide information about a company's ability – or lack thereof – to generate profit by increasing revenue, reducing costs, or both. The P&L statement is also referred to as "statement of profit and loss", "income statement," "statement of operations," "statement of financial results," and "income and expense statement."
