MEANING
Cash Flow Statement is a statement which describes the inflows (sources) and outflows (uses) of cash and
cash equivalents in an enterprise during a specified period of time. Such a statement enumerates net effects
of various business transactions on cash and its equivalents and takes into account receipts and
disbursements of cash. A cash flow statement summarises the causes of changes in cash position of a
business enterprise between dates of two balance sheets. According to AS-3 (Revised), an enterprise should
prepare a cash flow Statement and should present it for each period for which financial statements are
prepared. The terms cash, cash equivalents and cash flows are used in this statement with the following
meanings:
1. Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.
2. 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. Cash equivalents are
held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other
purposes. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent, it must be readily convertible to a known
amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Therefore, an investment
normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short-maturity, of say, three months or less
from the date of acquisition. Investments in shares are excluded from cash equivalents unless they are,
in substance, cash equivalents: for example, preference shares of a company acquired shortly before
their specified redemption date (provided there is only an insignificant risk of failure of the company to
repay the amount at maturity).
3. Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents. Flow of cash is said to have taken
place when any transaction makes changes in the amount of cash and cash equivalents available before
happening of the transaction. If the effect of transaction results in the increase of cash and its
equivalents. it is called an inflow (source) and if it results in the decrease of total cash, it is known as
outflow (use) of cash.
Cash flows exclude movements between items that constitute cash or cash equivalents because these
components are part of the cash management of an enterprise rather than part of its operating,
investing and financing activities. Cash management includes the investment of excess cash in cash
equivalents.
The amount of cash flows arising from operating activities is a key indicator of the extent to which the
operations of the enterprise have generated sufficient cash flows to maintain the operating capability of
the enterprise, pay dividends, repay loans, and make new investments without recourse to external
sources of financing. Information about the specific components of historical operating cash flows is
useful, in conjunction with other information, in forecasting future operating cash flows.
Cash flows from operating activities arc primarily derived from the principal revenue-producing
activities of the enterprise. Therefore, they generally result from the transactions and other events that
enter into the determination of net profit or loss.
g) Cash receipts and payments relating to futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts, and
swap contracts when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes.
Some transactions, such as the sale of an item of plant, may give rise to a gain or loss which is included
in the determination of net profit or loss. However, the cash flows relating to such transactions are cash
flows from investing activities.
2. Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term
assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents. The separate disclosure of cash flows
arising from investing activities is important because the cash flows represent the extent to which
expenditures have been made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows.
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.
The separate presentation of the cash flow effects of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries another
business units as single line items helps to distinguish those cash flows from other cash flows. The cash
flow effects of disposals are not deducted from those of acquisitions.
5. 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.
Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in foreign exchange rates are not cash flows.
However, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents held or due in a foreign
currency is reported in the cash flow statement in order to reconcile cash and cash equivalents at the
beginning and the end of the period. This amount is presented separately from cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities and includes the difference, if any, had those cash flows
been reported at the end of period exchange rates.
6. Non-Cash Transactions: Many investing and financing activities do not have a direct impact on current
cash flows although they do affect the capital and asset structure of an enterprise. Examples of non-cash
transactions are
a) The acquisition of assets by assuming directly related activities;
b) The acquisition of an enterprise by means of issue of shares; and
c) The conversion of debt to equity.
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.
