receipts and cash payments of a company during a period. The information contained in the
statement of cash flows, together with related disclosures in other financial statements, may help
CA 23.5 (Continued)
Cash inflows from operating activities include receipts from the sale of goods and services,
receipts from returns on loans and equity securities (interest and dividends), and all other receipts
that do not arise from transactions defined as financing and investing activities. Cash outflows for
operating activities include payments to buy goods for manufacture and resale, payments to
employees for services, tax payments, payments to creditors for interest, and all other payments
that do not arise from transactions defined as financing and investing activities.
(c) Cash flows from operating activities may be presented using the direct method or the indirect
method. Under the direct method, the major classes of operating cash receipts and cash payments
are shown separately. The indirect method involves adjusting net income to net cash flow from
operating activities by removing the effects of deferrals of past cash receipts and payments,
accruals of future cash receipts and payments, and noncash items from net income.

flows for the company, but this practice does not cure the systemic cash problems for the
organization. In short, it may be a bad business practice to liquidate assets, incurring expenses
and losses, in order to “window dress” the cash flow statement.
