no difference between both the methods).
The only difference between the direct and indirect methods lies in the calculation of Net Cash Flows from Operating
Activities. Under direct method, the Net Cash Flow from the Operating Activities is directly calculated by deduct-
ing the cash outflows from the Operating Activities from the Cash Inflows from the Operating Activities. On the
other hand, under the indirect method, the Net Cash Flow from the Operating Activities is indirectly calculated by
adding back all the non-operating and non-cash items debited and by deducting all the non-operating and non-
cash items credited to the Profit & Loss A/c for an accounting year with the Net Profit for that year. Under both the

4.14 FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CASH FLOW STATEMENT AS PER AS-3
AND TRADITIONAL METHOD
i. As per Traditional Method, Cash means cash in hand and at bank (demand deposits) only, whereas
as per AS-3, Cash includes not only cash in hand and at bank (demand deposits) but also short-term
investments or marketable securities,
fi. Cash Flows from different activities of an enterprise, such as operating, investing and Financing Activ-
ities, can be separately known through the Cash Flow Statement prepared as per AS-3, by virtue of
which the enterprise can identify its stronger and weaker area of cash generation. But, as per ‘Tradi
tional Method, there is no such segregation of Cash Flows from the different activities of an enterprise.
iii, As per AS-3, two separate approaches, namely, Direct and Indirect Method, may be followed for the
preparation of a Cash Flow Statement, whereas a single approach is followed while preparing the Cash
Flow Statement under Traditional Method.
iv. Preparation of a Cash Flow Statement as per AS-3 is mandatory for all enterprises having an annual
turnover of more than Rs. 50 crores and also for all companies whose shares or debts are listed on a recog-
nized Stock Exchange of India. Enterprises those are not falling under the above categories may prepare
their Cash Flow Statement as per the Traditional Method.
