The income statement and the profit and loss account can be summarised in the business plan to the main types of costs.

The profit and loss account is derived from the current "Betriebswirtschaftliche Abrechnung" (BWA). It is derived by determining the current income and current expenses. A monthly update is a basic requirement in order to be able to control the profit and loss.
