Quick Summary
When discussing profit and loss in finalisation accounts, compare this year's statements with last year's to identify increases in sales or decreases in expenses. Analysing cash flows and verifying figures like stock are also crucial. The net profit is clearly shown as the credit balance in the profit and loss account of the final accounts.

Simple, compare last years stamens with this year.

Find out if sales increased

find out if the expenses decreased

find out of finance costs decreased. 

Like that, compare the statement and find out what increased and what decreased. That increased your profits. 

Analyse Cashflows as well.

Verify the sales, expenses, stock etc. if they are increased or decreased
