    I LOVE your presentation. I am going back into the world of accounting and needed a refresher course. You got to the point, and I thank you. One of the things I plan on doing is using my business, The King's Conduits, as a play off on Ghost Busters. I will label it as Scam Busters. I've seen a lot of rip-offs, robberies and scams in my life so I will ask those in need to, please, let me look at your systems. The one thing that struck me hard at 7:40 was the issue of bills due not yet received. Can you imagine how that could affect the balance sheet if NOT recorded? What if I invested in a business not KNOWING what kinds of bills they have due. Is that even something to worry about?

    • @AccountingStuff
      @AccountingStuff  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks Elise! That is an interesting idea. Are you planning on turning it into a UA-cam channel? The underreporting of liabilities is definitely a risk that auditors check for. Another one is the over-reporting of Assets in the Balance Sheet. If assets are overinflated then a business may be holding some large debits that need to get flushed through the P&L at some point as an Expense.

      @@AccountingStuff Not sure yet what I plan on doing with it. I spoke with a CPA friend of mine and we both agree that the guys with the bucks are usually the ones hiding the truth so not sure how I can earn any money from it. Not sure if I NEED to, but it's good to be compensated for hard, good work. What do you think?
