In the field:

- Incoming money mixed with personal money
- Never seen a profit and loss statement
Contoh real case:
A shop with a turnover of 1–3 million/day feels “busy”, but doesn’t know the net profit because many small expenses are not recorded (personal cigarettes, operational costs, etc.).
The main problem:
- Inconsistent recording
- Sometimes it's noted, sometimes it's not.
- No stock control
- Lost or used items without tracking.
- Cash flow is unclear
- Money comes in, but I don't know where it goes.
- No reports
