Accounting Error

Pennywise

The bigger problem here is that the company managers/owners are under the false assumption that it's more profitable than it really is. Leaving the bonus figure aside, that could mean they're making future decisions, i.e. taking on more staff, buying more equipment, etc., on a false premise that they're doing better than they are. That could impact on future cash flow and could do massive harm to the company. If the managers/owners don't know about the error, they need to be told immediately to stop more damage being done.
