The Managing Director of Kotoku Ltd received the financial reports for year ended 31^st December 2019 with the 2018 comparatives from his Accountant. He does not understand why the company started the year with a bank balance of GHS6,000,000 but ended the year with a bank balance of only GHS300,000. He feels the Accountant has misappropriated the funds because the company made profits of GHS4,425,000 during the 2019 financial year and so adding that amount to the opening bank balance should result in a closing bank balance of GHS10,425,000. He approached you as a financial analyst to do a thorough analysis of the financial statement. An extract of Profit or loss, statement of financial position and the cashflow prepared from the full financial statements are shown below:
