【解釋】

cut-off是指交易和事件能夠被記錄在正確的報(bào)告期間。也就是說(shuō)當(dāng)期發(fā)生的事情一定要記錄在當(dāng)期的報(bào)告中，而不是為了讓報(bào)表好看或者其他目的，而記錄在其他期間的報(bào)告中。主要在sales-receivable cycle同purchase-payable cycle做，目的是確transaction cutoff沒(méi)有錯(cuò)(即是不可入錯(cuò)accounting period)Sales cut-off test是指要測(cè)試銷(xiāo)售入賬期是否入對(duì)。假設(shè)客戶將應(yīng)入當(dāng)年度延至下一年度才入，利潤(rùn)及稅收會(huì)減少。反之，將下年度銷(xiāo)售提前入賬會(huì)做大利潤(rùn)，給財(cái)務(wù)報(bào)表閱讀者一個(gè)錯(cuò)覺(jué)，會(huì)引致多派股息、花紅、稅收。財(cái)務(wù)報(bào)表以反映當(dāng)年正確業(yè)績(jī)?yōu)槟繕?biāo)，所以多入或少入都是不當(dāng)，要予以更正。
