Suppose all such transactions are recorded and profit is calculated. Now, it is clearly visible in financial statements that profit has increased from previous year and this is just because of purchase from a particular shop/supplier. This information is useful for manager as he can compare profit along with costs and make a decision regarding purchases etc. CEO can use this information for controlling and taking steps necessary.
