Profit and Loss Statement (P&L)
A company’s profit and loss statement lists revenues from sales and other sources and any expenses it incurs in a given period (per quarter, annually), actual and estimated, offering an easy-to-view method of determining how much profit or loss it is making. The P&L is a vital planning tool for a business.
