Only profits made at the end of a financial year may be entered in the annual accounts. The profit made on a transaction that has been partially completed and accepted by the other party may be entered, after inventory, when its completion is certain and it is possible, by means of forecast accounting documents, to assess with sufficient certainty the overall profit of the transaction.
