“Cash is revenue, right?" Well … it's not that simple … That’s why there's a fundamental principle called 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

⚡ 𝗔 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 ⚡ I’m pretty sure you’ve encountered: • 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (or Profit and Loss Statement) • 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁 • 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 These might just seem like routine number crunching ... but actually ... they're 𝗸𝗲𝘆 to decoding a company’s 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 and guiding 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. These reports pack a punch with insights on a company’s performance and where it stands financially. And delving into them can really drive smart decision-making. ❓ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 — the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements? 💡 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼: • The balance sheet (statement of financial position) shows assets, liabilities and owners’ equity at a point in time; • The income statement (or profit and loss statement) shows the results of a firm’s business activities over the period; • Statement of cash flows shows the sources and uses of cash over the period. 💡 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀. While the cash flow statement is about the actual cash coming in and going out, the income statement is based on the 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 —capturing transactions as they happen, irrespective of cash movement. And they all stand on the 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 : the idea that the company is here to stay for the foreseeable future. Keen to get to grips with it all? 🌊 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 Onda Advisory for our weekly #FinancialDigestives. Next week we’re taking a closer look at the Income Statement.
