the cash flow statment tells you what cash is coming in the door and what cash is leaving
over time ernings and cash flow should reconcile
but in the short term they can be quite different
Revenue Recognition Principle

Only recognize revenue in the period if the ownership of the
goods is passed onto the buyer
not necessarily when the cash changes hands
Matching Principle
explain it (2 parts)
A) Expense what you used up in this period to generate the sales
in this period
B) Recognize any expense that expires in this period and holds no future benifit
