Mr. Bliss owns a business.

Although most of the business expenses are paid by cash, Mr. Bliss on certain occasions uses his own personal cheque book to
pay some business expenses.

His accountant has asked to see his personal cheque book stubs so that some of these amounts may be included as expenses in
the statement of profit or loss.

Mr. Bliss is confused about this and asks, "If you are going to use my personal cheque book to prepare the financial statements,
98 why don't you include all of the cheques as expenses instead of only some of them?"

The main reason why the accountant does not include all of the cheques is because:

Mr. Bliss has not entered the full details of some of the expenditure on the cheque stubs and, because of this uncertainty, it is
more prudent not to include them in the financial statements.
There are a large number of immaterial cheque payments which would take a long time to examine.
The personal expenses of the owner are separate from those of the business and are not relevant to the statement of profit or
loss. c
