Notes / Examples
The invoice needs to be accurate because they need
to know how much the buyer has paid the seller if
they don't make it accurate they won't know how
much in total their goods made this could then
confuse the company since an error that was made
wont allow the company work out the actual amonute
that was paid.
It reflects on how effective an order to cash
organisation is.
An example is when a retailer buys goods from the
manufacturer the goods are shipped to the retailers
receiving department this comes with an invoice.
Bills need to be accurate because you need to pay the
right amount. If you don't make it accurate you'll be
paying the wrong amount of money.
The company needs to know the amount of money
they owe, they can't mess up with anything with bills
and need to make sure the calculations are accurate.
Salaries need to be accurate because the company
needs to know how much the employees are getting
paid wrong salary can lead to angry employees for
not getting paid a lot for the work they are doing for
the company this could then cause employees to quit
the job since the payment they are getting isn't
enough for them.

Scenario modelling. Give examples
A tax return needs to be accurate because a company
needs to know their income, expensive and other
financial information if this information isn't accurate
then the company will not know their income from
products as well as the expenses they are paying this
could then cause a company to fail and go bankrupt
since they have no clue on their income and how
much they are paying for the products.
Examples of not wasting time are
Put your phone on DND: Workers can get distracted
on their phone and they are wasting time at their work
since they are too distracted in getting the work done.
Doing complicated tasks first: Doing tasks that are
complicated first can make your worker easier to do
later. It also stops you from wasting too much time on
a task that is too hard.
Taking notes: It's important to take notes since they
are there to help you with your job. You can use notes
to look at if you are struggling with the work that you
have been set.
Not wasting electricity: you should always turn your
computer off when not using it by the plug this goes
to other equipment that's plugged in leaving it turned
on causes electricity go to waste.
Don't waste petrol: most of the time you go to the
petrol station and get fuel but you could avoid going
there often by only using your vehicle for going to
work and other places that are important another
thing is that you shouldn't have your heaters on when
you don't need them on this can help you to save
money.
Don't throw away anything useful: if you have
anything in your home you shouldn't throw it away
you should give it away to someone that will need it
an example of this could be a computer or a TV that's
in good condition give it to someone that's in need of
it than putting it in the trash.

doesn't just predict one future for businesses it
