Responsabilidad de comerciantes en la entrega de estados financieros

Explicación Simple

Si eres un comerciante y alguien te pide un informe de compras o ventas, debes dárselo. Si no lo haces, se podría pensar que hiciste algo malo en el mercado.

Es como cuando un amigo te pide la receta de un platillo que cocinaste. Si no se la das, puede pensar que hay un secreto detrás de la receta.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan es un comerciante de frutas. Un cliente le pide un informe sobre de dónde compró sus manzanas y a qué precio. Juan se niega a darle la información, lo que genera sospechas de que tal vez no hizo la compra correctamente.

Penalidades

Si un comerciante se niega a entregar el informe, se presume que no actuó de manera legítima en el mercado.
