6. SPECIAL ITEMS
i. Foreign Currency Cash Flows: Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency should be
recorded in an enterprise’s reporting currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange
rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow. A rate that
approximates the actual rate may be used if the result is substantially the same as would arise if the rates
at the dates of the cash flows were used. The effect of changes in exchange rates on cash and cash
equivalents held in a foreign currency should be reported as a separate part of the reconciliation of the
changes in cash and cash equivalents during the period.
ii. Extraordinary Items: The cash flows associated with extraordinary items should be classified as arising
from operating, investing or financing activities as appropriate and separately disclosed.
iii. Interest and Dividends: Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid should each be
5. 3
disclosed separately. Cash flows arising from interest paid and interest and dividends received in the case
of a financial enterprise should be classified as cash flows arising from operating activities. In the case of
other enterprises, cash flows arising from interest paid should be classified as cash flows from financing
iv. Taxes on Income: Cash flows arising from taxes on income should be separately disclosed and should be
classified as cash flows from operating activities unless they can be specifically identified with financing
and investing activities.
v. Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures: When accounting for an investment in an
associate or a subsidiary or a joint venture, an investor restricts its reporting in the cash flow statement to
the cash flows between itself and the investee / joint venture, for example, cash flows relating to dividends
and advances.
vi. Acquisitions and Disposals of Subsidiaries and Other Business Units: The aggregate cash flows arising
from acquisitions and from disposals of subsidiaries or other business units should be presented
separately and classified as investing activities.
An enterprise should disclose, in aggregate, in respect of both acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries or
other business units during the period each of the following:
a. the total purchase or disposal consideration; and
b. the portion of the purchase or disposal consideration discharged by means of cash and cash
equivalents.
vii. Non Cash Transactions: Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash
equivalents should be excluded from a cash flow statement. Such transactions should be disclosed
elsewhere in the financial statements in a way that provides all the relevant information about these
investing and financing activities.
