activities.
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Information about the cash flows of an enterprise is useful in providing users of
financial statements with a basis to assess the ability of the enterprise to generate
cash and cash equivalents and the needs of the enterprise to utilise those cash
flows. The economic decisions that are taken by users require an evaluation of the
ability of an enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents and the timing and
certainty of their generation.
The Standard deals with the provision of information about the historical changes
in cash and cash equivalents of an enterprise by means of a cash flow statement
which classifies cash flows during the period from operating, investing and
financing activities.
Cash receipts
Cash Flow
Statement is Cash
f payments
Benefits:
(a) Cash flow statement provides information about the changes in cash and
cash equivalents of an enterprise.
(b) Identifies cash generated from trading operations.
(c) The operating cash surplus which can be applied for investment in fixed
assets.
(d) Portion of cash from operations is used to pay dividend and tax and the
other portion is ploughed back.
(e) Very useful tool of planning.
Purpose:
Cash flow statements are prepared to explain the cash movements between two
points of time.
Sources of Cash:
1. Issue of shares and debentures and raising long-term loan.
2. Sale of investments and other fixed assets.
3. Cash from operations (Net Operating Profit).
Applications of Cash
1. Redemption of preference shares and debentures and repayment of long-
term loan.
Note: Cash includes Bank Account also. Increase in cash or decrease in cash is put
in the applications and the sources respectively just to balance the cash flow
statement. At this juncture, you may note that changes in all balance sheet items
are to be taken into consideration separately in cash flow statement for
explaining movement of cash.
Conclusion: Thus, cash flow statement deals with flow of cash funds but does not
consider the movements among cash, bank balance payable on demand and
investment of excess cash in cash equivalents. Examples are cash withdrawn from
current account, cash deposited in bank for 60 days, etc.
Financing activities
Operating activities Investing activities
(changes in the size and
(principle revenue (acquisition and disposal
composition of the
generating) of long-term assets and owner’s capital and
other investments) borrowings)
Methods
(a) Direct Method: The direct method, whereby major classes of gross
cash receipts and gross cash payments are considered; or
(b) Indirect Method: The indirect method, whereby net profit or loss is
adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, deferrals
or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and
items of income or expense associated with investing or financing
activities.
2.4.3 Conclusion
1. It is worth noting that both direct and indirect methods adjust current
assets and current liabilities related to operating activities to determine cash
from operating activities.
2. But direct method adjust individual items of profit and loss account and
indirect method adjusts overall net profit (or loss) to determine cash from
operation.
3. Therefore, indirect method fails to provide break-up of cash from
operations.
