The phrase "loose ends" is an idiomatic expression in English. In this financial context, it's being used metaphorically. Here's a breakdown of why this term is used:
1. "Loose" suggests something that's not firmly fixed or tied down. In accounting, these are items that don't neatly fit into the cash-based system.
2. "Ends" refers to parts that are left over or unfinished. In this case, it's the financial items that aren't captured in a simple cash-in, cash-out system.
Together, "loose ends" implies there are unfinished or unresolved items that need to be addressed to complete the picture. In accounting, these are the adjustments needed to transform a cash-based report into an accrual-based one.
