Some benefits of this statement are:

Assessing future cash flows: Income data when augmented with current cash flow data
provides a better basis for assessing future cash flows. Assessing quality of income: Some believe that cash flow information is more reliable than income information because income involves a number of assumptions, estimates and valuations. Assessing operating capability: Whether an enterprise is able to maintain its operating capability, provide for future growth, and distribute dividends to the owners depends on whether adequate cash is being or will be generated. Assessing financial flexibility and liquidity: Cash flow data indicate whether a company should be able to survive adverse operating problems and whether a company might have difficulty in meeting obligations as they become due, paying dividends, or meeting other recurring costs. Providing information on financial and investing activities: Cash flows are classified by their effect on balance sheet items; investing activities affect assets while financing activities affect liabilities and equities. |
|
The main purpose of the statement of cash flows
|
is to show the change in cash of a company from
one period to the next. The statement of cash flows provides information about a company’s operating, financing, and investing activities. More precisely, it provides information about the company’s cash inflows and outflows for the period. |
|
Investing activities involve noncurrent assets and include
|
(1) lending money and collecting on
those loans and (2) acquiring and disposing of investments and productive long-lived assets. |
|
Financing activities, on the other hand, involve liability and owners’ equity items and include
|
(1) obtaining cash from creditors and repaying the amounts borrowed and (2) obtaining capital
from owners and providing them with a return on their investment. Operating activities include all transactions and events that are not investing and financing activities. Operating activities involve the cash effects of transactions that enter into the determination of net income. |
|
Examples of sources of cash in a statement of cash flows include
|
Examples of sources of cash in a statement of cash flows include
|
|
Examples of uses of cash include
|
cash used in operating activities, payment of
cash dividends, redemption of debt, purchase of investments, redemption of capital stock, and the purchase of property, plant, and equipment. |
|
Preparing the statement of cash flows involves three major steps:
|
1. Determine the change in cash. This is simply the difference between the beginning and ending
cash balances. 2. Determine the net cash flow from operating activities. This involves analyzing the current year’s income statement, comparative balance sheets and selected transaction data. 3. Determine cash flows from investing and financing activities. All other changes in balance sheet accounts are analyzed to determine their effect on cash. |

|
|
where do you get data necessary for preparation of the statement of cash flows
|
Comparative balance sheets, a current income statement, and certain transaction data
|
|
Comparative balance sheets
indicate |
how assets, liabilities, and equities have changed during the period.
|
|
A current income
statement |
provides information about the amount of cash provided from operating activities.
|
|
It is necessary to convert accrual-based net income to a cash basis because
|
net income includes
items that do not provide or use cash. An example would be an increase in accounts receivable. If accounts receivable increased during the period, revenues reported on the accrual basis would be higher than the actual cash revenues received. Thus, accrual basis net income must be adjusted to reflect the net cash flow from operating activities. |
|
Net cash flow from operating activities under the direct method is
|
the difference between cash
revenues and cash expenses. The direct method adjusts the revenues and expenses directly to reflect the cash basis. This results in cash net income, which is equal to “net cash flow from operating activities.” |
|
The indirect method involves adjusting
|
accrual net income. This is done by starting with accrual
net income and adding or subtracting noncash items included in net income. Examples of adjustments include depreciation and other noncash expenses and changes in the balances of current asset and current liability accounts from one period to the next. |
|
What can cause an increase in cash even though the company reported a loss
|
(1)
high cash revenues relative to low cash expenses, (2) sales of property, plant, and equipment, (3) sales of investments, and (4) issuance of debt or capital stock. |
|
To determine cash payments to suppliers, it is first necessary to
|
find purchases for the year. To
find purchases, cost of goods sold is adjusted for the change in inventory (increased when inventory increases or decreased when inventory decreases). After purchases are computed, cash payments to suppliers are determined by adjusting purchases for the change in accounts payable. An increase (decrease) in accounts payable is deducted from (added to) purchases to determine cash payments to suppliers. |

Examples of noncash transactions are:
|
(1) Issuance of stock for assets, (2) issuance of stock to
liquidate debt, (3) issuance of bonds or notes for assets, and (4) noncash exchanges of property, plant, and equipment. |
|
(1) Issuance of stock for assets, (2) issuance of stock to
liquidate debt, (3) issuance of bonds or notes for assets, and (4) noncash exchanges of property, plant, and equipment. |
(1) By providing a reconciliation between net income and cash provided by operations, the differences
are highlighted. (2) The direct method is nothing more than a cash basis income statement which will confuse and create uncertainty for financial statement users who are familiar with the accrual-based income statements. (3) There is some question as to whether the direct method is cost/benefit justified as this method would probably lead to additional preparation costs because the financial records are not maintained on a cash basis. |
