How the evidence changes
Historic accounts show profit, but current cash movement is untidy.
The accountant separates drawings, tax, and one-off equipment costs.
Separate accounts make the current trading story easier to verify.
Learning point
Money moving through a business is not automatically income available to a household.
This scenario is an illustrative teaching example. It is not a lending decision, recommendation, client story, or prediction of what any lender would do.
