Cash vs Accrual Accounting
What are the common challenges a consumer brand faces when migrating from cash basis to accrual basis accounting?

First, businesses must accurately recognize accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, and accrued expenses that were not previously tracked in detail. In addition, finance teams may need new accounting systems and stronger internal controls.
