Effects of Accounting Practices on Net Income

Hi,

I often read that it is important to understand how certain accounting practices/changes affect net income. I am aware that accounting is a very complicated topic, however, are there specific things to watch out for that are usually used to sugarcoat or run down income?

Best,

Hi Hans,

A few thoughts here:

Watch out for different revenue recognition policies.
Inventory methods can skew income higher/lower depending on an inflationary/deflationary environment.
Uncertain tax positions can be easily manipulated to increase/decrease net income.
Look out for fluffy seeming reserve balances that management can more easily judgementally fluctuate if needed.

Hope that helps.
