It provides information about the cash receipts and cash payments of an entity during a period. It is a
formal statement that classifies cash inflows and cash outflows into operating, investing and financing
activities.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES

and obtaining and selling property and equipment and other productive assets.
Activities of an entity related to sale and purchase of long-term assets and other investments.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES
The cash flow statement can be prepared using either the direct or indirect method. The cash flow from financing
and investing activities’ sections will be identical under both the indirect and direct method.
Under the direct method, the only section of the statement of cash flows that will differ in the presentation is the
cash flow from the operations section. The direct method lists the cash receipts and cash payments made during the
accounting period. The cash outflows are subtracted from the cash inflows to calculate the net cash flow from
operating activities, before the net cash from investing and financing activities are included to get the net cash
increase or decrease in the company for that period of time.
