    Dear Tutor, I have a question which I faced in real life

    are all expenses in P/L will be the same figures in Cash Budget except for non-cash items?

    Say for example

    Salaries
    Business Travel
    Communication
    Insurance
    Repair Expenses
    Marketing/Advertising
    Rent
    Transport
    Other fixed costs
    VAT
    Tax on profit
    Other taxes

    No.

    In the statement of profit or loss we show the total expense for the period (regardless of how much cash has been paid).

    In the cash budget we show the actual cash receipts and payments.

    This is Paper FA, not Paper FM.

    If my cash budget preparation covers one year of all pays and expenses then it will be the same figure in the P/L except for amortization.

    I asked this question because I 2017 cash budget coverng the whole one year and I have also P/L when I reconcile both of them I see total fixed expenses is not the same as in the P/L during the year. In the p/l, total expense is less than the amount showed in cash budget therefore I confused.

    If there are no accruals or prepayments at either the beginning or end of the year, then certainly the SOPL expenses will be the same as the cash paid.

    However, this is not relevant for Paper FM and we are not in a position to assist with non-exam problems.
