Point-In-Time
Describes the collection process of data during a specific point in time.
The typical process of getting the data is as follows;
1. Prelim-Press
2. Final
3. Amendments (in there was something that needed to be fixed within the
current time period) Need not be done if changes do not affect financial
position
4. RES/CLA (usually happens 1 year later)
*Results will not even be overwritten.
*Balance sheet, not easily amendable in terms of accounts because it shows its
asset and liability position of said period.
* Income Statement shows the movement of revenue making it easily possible to
conduct the period calculations.
