Something I've concluded recently:

accounts receivable = tacit knowledge
accounts payable = explicit knowledge

So the ledger sheet is really a knowledge ledger. Any tacit ideas we have represent accounts payable. In other words, the moment we have an idea, its going to cost us something to bring it to fruition. Once the idea is made explicit, we can charge people for it, hence accounts receivable. And the pure profit left over is our intellectual capital.
