Cost of goods sold (including goods, investment real estate and services, costs related to investment real estate business activities such as: depreciation costs, repair and upgrade costs, operating lease costs, liquidation costs, transfer of investment real estate), selling costs and business administration costs.

Financial performance: Is the difference between financial revenue and financial expenses.

Other operating results: Is the difference between other income and other expenses.

Thus, business performance is the final result of normal production and business activities and other financial and operational activities of an enterprise in a certain period, expressed in terms of profit or loss.

* The matching principle affects business results to reflect the correct business results. The recognition of revenue and expenses must be consistent with each other. When recognizing a revenue, a corresponding expense related to the generation of that revenue must be recognized. Costs corresponding to revenue include costs of the period in which the revenue is generated and costs of previous periods or expenses payable but related to the revenue of that period.

Thus, the costs recorded in a period are all costs related to generating revenue and income of that period regardless of which period the costs are indicated in.

Regulations on appropriate accounting between revenue and expenses to determine and correctly evaluate business results of each accounting period help managers make correct and effective business decisions.
