The main aim is served by presenting pro forma in the arbitrary format. But does it really exemplar the same in the table 20.3 and 20.4? Well actually not! It seems naïve and not professional in many senses. A pro forma which is well-written is aimed to provide professional knowledge ever if there is no need! But that’s really the aim of the same. One needs to understand that when you create a pro forma, the most professional emperor is also in the bathing suits as you!
And please do not get into an endless argument which is not going anywhere. This is a common scenario when presenting a pro forma to your client. So do not focus on each tree of the forest, because it’s the forest which is important. Just take care of the minor assumptions and the big picture as a whole.
But do not get demoralized on the same because you cannot really ignore the same. Creating pro forma can be difficult but it is mandatory too! All you can do is separate the bad one from good one. And a good pro forma will need good economics knowledge and detailed information about footnotes on every single aspect and tool included in the forma.
