+- some companies end on black friday
+  - this is when they make their most money
+- japanese companies end in march
+
+** Ethics
+- be conservative and honest with forecasts
+- jailtime
+  - it's easy to make clerical mistakes
+  - overlook unethical co workers
+- some companies try to take from a different quarter to make up shortfalls
+
+** Cash Conversion Period Ratio
+- *COGS*: Cost of Goods Sold
+  - how much it costs for goods for the day
+
+*** examples
+- $5000 of inventory
+- COGS is $50
+- we have 100 days worth of goods
+
+if we put $1 into inventory it won't be converted into cash for another 50 days
+
+** Inventory to sale conversion period
+\(\text{ISCP} = \frac{\text{average inventories}}{\text{COGS} \cdot 365}\)
