1. Accounting.
A surplus arising from the appropriate matching of revenues with expenditure.
For example, operating profit or net profit.
The profit for a period may differ from the cash flow because of:
- Items in cash flow which are not part of profit. For example capital expenditure or the collection of debtors recognised in prior periods; and
- Items in profit which are not cash flows, for example depreciation, amortisation, or making accruals.
2.
More generally any surplus, gain or net benefit arising.
