M1: Compare the final accounts of two organisations, explaining the similarities and
differences.
Similarities Sole Trader/Partnership
Statement of profit and loss When I had looked at both statements I have found out
Statement of financial position that between both of the business is that the way that
their statements are laid out is almost the same. When
looking at the perspective of the data, it is almost the
same in most aspects. Keeping the information
recorded on their profit and loss sheet such as sales,
expenditure and any other factors which would affect
the financial situation of the businesses is vital so that
they have a track record of where they are and where
their money goes. Also this can be an indication on all
activities regarding their key resources.

a simple structure on their balance sheet as they both

Statement of profit and loss Another similarity within the profit and loss statement is
Statement of financial position that they both have a separate part which states the
less-expenses on their balance sheet and is set up
almost identically. In both occasions the details include
the staff’s wages as well as the shop expenses’
