Do you know the difference between cash and accrual and, if you don’t, how you might lose investors or run out of cash?

I’ll always remember when you had me read the accounting lemons book - I still have that on my bookshelf . And so I knew the answer to your question: 100% thanks to you !!! (Turned out to be quite useful)

You need to have a strong command of both cash and accrual principles, particularly in businesses with deferred revenue, significant inventory, long-term leases with escalations requiring straight-line rent adjustments that can distort current (and future) earnings. Good post, Tom!
