INTRODUCTION – CASH FLOW
A cash flow statement is one of the most important financial statements for a
project or business. A type of financial analysis that compares the timing and
amount of cash inflows with the timing and amount of cash outflows. A firm’s
cash flow position can greatly affect its ability to remain in business. These
effects may not be apparent from a cost-benefit analysis. The statement can be as
simple as a one page analysis or may involve several schedules that feed
information into a central statement.
The cash flow statement traces the various sources which bring in cash, such as
operations, sale of current and fixed assets, issuance of share capital and long
term borrowings etc. and the applications which cause outflow of cash, such as,
purchase of current and fixed assets, redemption of debentures, preference shares
for cash and so on. This statement is designed for account for the change in cash
Cash flow statement provides information about the cash receipts and payments
of a firm for a given period. It provides important information that compliments
the profit and loss account and balance sheet. The information about the cash-
flows of a useful in providing users or 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 utilize these cash flows. The economic decisions that are taken
by users require an evaluation of the ability of an enterprise to generate cash
equivalents and the timing and certainty of their generation. The statement deals
with the provision of information about the historical changes in cash equivalents
of an enterprise by means of a cash flow statement, which classifies cash flows
during the period from operation investing and financing activities.
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value. Examples of cash equivalents are, treasury bills,
commercial paper etc.
The (total) net cash flow of a company over a period (typically a quarter, half
year, or a full year) is equal to the change in cash balance over this period:
227
positive if the cash balance increases (more cash becomes available), negative if
the cash balance decreases.
By creating a cash flow budget you can project your sources and applications of
funds for the upcoming time periods. You will identify any cash deficit periods in
advance so you can take corrective actions now to alleviate the deficit. This may
involve shifting the timing of certain transactions. It may also determine when
money will be borrowed. If borrowing is involved, it will also determine the
amount of cash that needs to be borrowed.
Periods of excess cash can also be identified. This information can be used to
direct excess cash into interest bearing assets where additional revenue can be
generated or to scheduled loan payments. A Cash Flow statement is prepared to
fulfill the following objectives.
228
case, the company may be deriving additional operating cash by issuing
shares or raising additional debt finance.
Profit and Loss Account: The profit and loss account of the current period
enables to determine the amount of cash provided by or used in operations during
the accounting period after making adjustments for non-cash, current assets and
currents liabilities.
229
Preparation of Cash Flow Statement
There are 2 methods of preparing the Cash Flows from Operating Activities:-
1. Direct Method
2. Indirect Method
While preparing the Cash Flow Statement as per Direct Method, Actual Cash
Receipts from Operating Revenues and Actual Cash Payments for Operating
Activities are arranged and presented in the Cash Flow Statement. The difference
between Cash Receipts and Cash Payments is the Net Cash Flow from Operating
Activities under the Direct Method. In other words, it is a Income Statement
(Profit & Loss A/c) prepared on Cash Basis under the Direct Method.
While preparing the Cash Flow Statement as per Direct Method, items like
Depreciation, Amortization of Intangible Assets, Preliminary Expenses,
Debenture Discount etc are ignored from Cash Flow Statement since the Direct
Method includes only Cash Transactions and Non-Cash Transactions are omitted.
230
Likewise, no adjustment is made for Loss/Gain on the Sale of Fixed Assets and
Investments while preparing the Cash Flow Statement as per the Direct Method.
Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services
Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions, and other revenue
Cash receipts and payments relating to future contracts, forward contracts, option
contracts, and swap contracts when the contracts are held for dealing or trading
purposes etc.
While preparing the Cash Flow Statement the Net Profit/Loss for the period is
taken as the base and then adjustments are made for items that affected the
Income Statement but did not affect the Cash.
While preparing the Cash Flow Statement Non Cash and Non Operating charges
from the Income Statement are added back to the Net Profits while Non-Cash &
Non-Operating Credits are deducted to calculate the Operating Profit before
charging working capital. Further, necessary adjustments are made for
Increase/Decrease in current assets and current liabilities to obtain Net Cash
Flows from Operating Activities.

Investing activities are the activities related to acquisition and disposal of long
term asset and other Investments which does not include cash equivalents. In
other words, investing activities include transactions and events that involve the
purchase and sale of long-term productive assets (e.g., land, building, plant and
machinery, etc.) not held for re-sale and other investments. As the cash flows
represent the extent to which expenditures have been made for intended to
generate future income and cash flows, Separate disclosure of cash flows arising
from Investing Activities is important.

UTILITY OF CASH FLOW STATEMENT
The importance of cash flow statement lies in the fact that it explains the changes
in cash and gives insight to the company’s operating, investing and financial
activities. Also, cash flow statement will unveil the company’s ability to generate
cash to meet its short-term obligations, thereby assessing if company’s liquidity
and solvency position is sound.
Cash flow notion is based loosely on cash flow statement accounting standards.
It's flexible as it can refer to time intervals spanning over past-future. It can refer
to the total of all flows involved or a subset of those flows. Subset terms include
net cash flow, operating cash flow and free cash flow
240
important decisions involving dividend policy, replacement of assets,
repayment of long-term loans etc.
4. Reveals Success or Failure of Cash Planning: It reveals the
extent of success or failure of cash planning. As a management may hold
comparison of cash flow of current year with projected cash budget of
that period, variations, if any with relevant cause may be detected and
necessary remedial actions can be initiated.
5. Adds Efficiency to Cash Management: Cash is the very
foundation of all business operations. Therefore, a projected cash flow
statement provides sufficient guidelines to the management for planning
and coordinating financial operations properly, effectively and efficiently.
6. Helps to determine the likely flow of cash: Projected cash flow
statements help the management to determine the likely inflow or outflow
of cash from operations and the amount of cash required to be raised from
other sources to meet the future needs of the business.
1. Cash flow statement does not measure the economic efficiency of one
company in relation to another. Usually a company with heavy capital
241
investment will have more cash inflow. Therefore, inter-industry
comparison of cash flow statement may be misleading.
2. Misleading comparison over a period of time - Just because the company's
cash flow has increased in the current year, a company may not be better
off than the previous year. Thus, the comparison over a period can be
misleading.
3. Misleading inter-firm comparison- The terms of pu-chases and sales will
differ from firm to firm; Moreover, cash inflow does not always mean
profit. Therefore, inter-firm comparison of cash flows may also be
misleading.
4. Influenced by changes in management policies- The ash balance as
disclosed by the cash flow statement may to represent the real liquidity
position of the business. The cash can be easily influenced by purchases
and sales policies, by making certain advance payments or by postponing
certain payments.
7. Net cash flow does not necessarily imply the net income of the business.
As unlike income statement, cash flow statement takes into account only
cash discarding non-cash items from its preview. Cash flow statement no
doubt depicts the cash position but the cash balance shown by cash flow
statement may not be the true representative of real liquid position of the
business and it can be easily influenced by postponing purchase and other
payments.
242
Despite the drawbacks, of cash flow statement, it is a useful supplementary
accounting instrument serving as a barometer in evaluating profitability and
financial position of an enterprise.
