How It Helps Your Business English
The balance sheet group covers accounts payable and receivable, assets, book value, equity, inventory and liabilities. The income statement group covers cost of goods sold, depreciation, expenses, gross profit, net income and revenue. The general group runs from cash flow, credit and debit to forecasting, interest, liquidity, overhead, payroll, return on investment and the two kinds of cost.
You read the entry for a term you already use in your own language and compare the definition with the example sentence, which shows the word inside a sentence a journalist or a colleague might write. The office expressions are worth reading before a meeting with English-speaking colleagues, since words such as ballpark figure, drill down and go bust are heard far more often than they are written down.
