Chapter Outline
I. Basics of Cash Flow Reporting
4. Why do income and cash flows differ?
A. Purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows
Reports cash receipts (inflows) and cash payments (outflows) for a period. This report classifies
B. Importance of Cash Flows
Information about cash flows influences decisions. It helps users decide whether a company has
enough cash to pay debts, evaluate a company’s ability to pursue unexpected opportunities, and
helps managers plan day-to–day operations and make long-term investment decisions.
The phrase cash flows refers to both cash and cash equivalents. A cash equivalent must satisfy two
criteria:
2. Be sufficiently close to its maturity date so its market value is unaffected by interest rate
changes.
D. Classification of Cash Flows
Cash receipts and cash payments are classified and reported in one of three categories:
1. Operating Activities—include transactions and events that affect net income (with some
exceptions such as unusual gains and losses). Specific examples:
2. Investing Activities—include transactions and events that come from the purchase or sale of
long-term assets. Specific examples:
3. Financing Activities—include transactions and events that affect long-term liabilities and
equity:
a. Cash inflows from issuing short-term and long-term debt (notes payable and bonds
Financial and Managerial Accounting, 8e

assets; and purchase of noncash assets by issuing equity or debt.
F. Format of the Statement of Cash Flows
4. Contains a separate schedule or note disclosure of any noncash financing and investing
1. Lists cash flows by categories (operating, financing and investing) and identifies the net cash
inflow or outflow in each category.
G. Preparing the Statement of Cash Flows
1. There are five steps in preparing a statement of cash flows:
a. Compute the net increase or decrease in cash (bottom line or target number).
b. Compute and report net cash provided (used) by operating activities.
2. Sources of information for preparing the statement of cash flows:
3. Alternative approaches to preparing the statement:
a. Analyzing the cash account
b. Analyzing noncash accounts
II. Cash Flows from Operating
and indirect method.
A. Indirect and Direct Methods of Reporting—Two ways of reporting that apply only to the operating
activities section.
1. Direct Method—separately lists operating cash receipts and operating cash payments. Cash
payments are then subtracted from cash receipts.
B. Applying the Indirect Method
1. Reports net income using accrual accounting, and then adjusts net income to get net cash
provided or used by operating activities.
2. The types of adjustments are:

activities).
i. Changes in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, interest
C. Summary Adjustments for Indirect method—see Exhibit 12.12 in text.
III. Cash Flows from Investing—identical under direct and indirect methods.
A. Three-step process to determine cash provided (used) by investing activities:
1. Identify changes in investing-related accounts (all noncurrent assets, and the current accounts
IV. Cash Flows from Financing— identical under direct and indirect methods.
A. Three-step process to determine cash provided (used) by financing activities:
1. Identify changes in financing-related accounts (all noncurrent liabilities—including current
B. Proving Cash Balances
Last step in preparing the statement is to report the beginning and ending cash balances and provide that
the net change in cash is explained by operating, investing and financing cash flows. Exhibit 12.13 in
text.
V. Decision Analysis—Cash Flow Analysis
A. Analyzing Cash Sources and Uses
1. Managers review cash flows for business decisions.
B. Cash Flow on Total Assets
1. Measures actual cash flows and is not affected by accounting recognition and measurement.
VI. Spreadsheet Preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows (Appendix 12A)
A spreadsheet approach may be used to help us prepare a statement of cash flows.
A. The spreadsheet has four columns containing dollar amounts.
B. Separate sections on the working paper present (a) balance sheet items with debit balances; (b)
balance sheet items with credit balances; (c) cash flows from operating activities, starting with net
C. Information for sections (c)-(f) is developed in four steps in the Analysis of Changes columns:
1. By adjusting net income for the changes in all noncash current asset and current liability account
balances. This reconciles the changes in these accounts.

VII. Direct Method of Reporting Operating Cash Flows
(Appendix 12B)
A. Separately list each major item or class of operating cash receipts and cash payments.
B. Classes of operating cash receipts include cash received from customers, renters, interest, and
dividends.
C. Classes of operating cash payments include cash paid to suppliers, to employees and other operating
expense, interest, and income taxes.
