A Proof of Cash (PoC) analysis can be instrumental in validating revenue during the financial due diligence process of acquiring a small business.

Through this analysis, the acquiring party can ensure the accuracy and completeness of the revenue recorded in the books of the target company.

A Proof of Cash Analysis for revenue validation will involve:

• Collecting Necessary Financial Documents - relevant financial statements, bank statements, and sales transaction records for the period under review.

• Reconciliation: reconcile the recorded revenue with the cash deposits in the bank statements to ensure that all revenue transactions have been accurately reflected.

- Cross-verify the timing and amount of revenue recognized with the cash receipts in the bank statements.

• Identify Timing Differences - document any timing differences between revenue recognition and cash receipt, and ensure they adhere to the revenue recognition principles.

• Investigate Unusual Items - look for unusual or inconsistent items within the revenue transactions, such as unexplained adjustments, discrepancies in invoice amounts, or inconsistent revenue recognition practices.
