Great, the search results for "limitations of income statement" provided excellent candidates.
-4 "Key Limitations of Financial Statements and Their True Impact - Plutus Education" highlights several good points like "Profit is not the same as cash," "Absence of Non-Financial Reporting (intangibles like brand reputation)," and "Use of Estimates and Assumptions."
- "Financial Statements: List of Types and How to Read Them - Investopedia" also has a "Limitations of Financial Statements" section with similar points: Historical Data, Non-Financial Information, Inflation, Reporting Periods, Estimates/Assumptions.
-3 "Limitations of financial statements - AccountingTools" gives similar points.
I will choose Investopedia as a trusted domain for the limitations.
- External Link 4 (Limitations): Limitations of Financial Statements (Investopedia.com) - I need to ensure this is the exact URL and it contains the discussion about P&L limitations. The article title is "Financial Statements: List of Types and How to Read Them," and snippet confirms it has a "Limitations of Financial Statements" section. This is suitable.
Now I have 4 verified external links from 3 different trusted domains:
- SEC.gov (History)
- eCFR.gov (Regulation)
- investor.apple.com (Example/Practical Application)
- Investopedia.com (Limitations)
