  19. Summary Cash and profit refer to different elements of the accounts and should never be used interchangeably, they are different. A number of different ‘GAAPs’ exist, international GAAP, using IFRS are used more widely than other ‘national’ county specific GAAPs. External reporting statements can be utilised internally for management accounting analysis purposes, but are too general and far reaching for operational decision making. USALI is well utilised as a reporting framework within hospitality and is one of the oldest sector specific internal reporting frameworks in the world. USALI serves many purposes for internal reporting and external benchmarking for decision making.
