Press Esc to exit programme at any time Profit & Loss Accounts The calculation of profit and loss is one of the most important objectives of accounting and shows how well a business has traded over a particular period of time. Many stakeholders will be interested in this. It shows how much the firm has earned from selling its product or service, and how much it has paid out in costs. The difference between these two is the amount of profit that has been earned. A profit & loss account shows the detail.

Gross Profit therefore represents the difference between the sales and the cost of the goods sold.
