The choice of an accounting technique to measure [[income related to employment for profit>>doc:working:Glossary.Income Related to Employment for Profit.WebHome]] should take into account the circumstances in which those employed for profit operate their business and the measurement objective. Two major techniques can be used:
  * {{{(i)}}} Accruals accounting, which measures the profit earned during the reference period, by taking into account receipts and expenses relevant to that period, irrespective of whether or not they have actually been received or defrayed. This technique measures the profitability or economic performance of the enterprise and, as such, could be favoured when the objective is to measure the income-generating capacity of [[jobs>>doc:working:Glossary.Job.WebHome]] for profit. It is also the approach favoured by the SNA.
  * (ii) The cash-flow technique, which measures actual cash received (including the value of production for own use) and paid out (including the value of production given out free or at reduced prices) during the reference period. This technique provides a better indicator of the amounts of income actually available to [[workers in employment for profit>>doc:working:Glossary.Workers in employment for profit.WebHome]] to meet living expenses. Where data on [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment.WebHome]]-related income are furnished by those in [[employment>>doc:working:Glossary.Employment.WebHome]] for profit themselves in the absence of business accounts, it is generally easier for them to provide a simple summary of cash received and paid in the assessment period (i.e. gross receipts minus expenditure).
