Timing Issues
When you prepare the month by month plan, you begin to appreciate timing issues. For example you may make a sale in May, but not receive the money until June. So in the Profit and Loss Account, the sale appears in May, but in the Cash Flow the sale appears in June. These timing differences also occur with expenses: some expenses, eg. salaries are paid in the month, whilst your rent may only be paid quarterly – but would need to be spread across 3 months in the Profit and Loss Account.
