The Structure of a Profit and Loss Account

The Structure of a Profit and Loss Account

Creating a Profit and Loss Statement:

This profit and loss statement shows or consolidates our understanding

of the structure of the profit and loss statement.

The cells displaying zeroes contain formulae to perform automatic

calculations on my accounts/data. It is best not to type into these

cells, as you it will erase the formulae. Also you should put figures

in the rows beneath each section heading. Any values entered in the

same row, as a heading will not be included in the automatic

calculations. This example is how I will manage recording or analysing

my profit and loss figures. On the next page it shows us how figures

would compromise if they were high and low.
