聽d sir,miss講話做finance既人只會睇cash flow,b/s,i/s無咁重要
why???
因為cash flow是紀錄金錢的交易
另外，balances sheet有d debtor收唔返(又沒有入bad debt)(provision for bad debt都是估計)
從而計大profit(另外，有d人會做假數)想報大個profit今年年尾話多人returns
but是假，下年又多咗d sales，
想計少d稅

仲有d人可以寫invoice同sales 貨單有出入，所以profit可以有錯

debtor同sales 貨出去個數not the same

不過，cash flow是紀錄金錢，冇假，所以好信d
cash flow同銀行個bank statement可以對返d數
所以錯機會少

幾多現金交易

可能真假數
