Purpose of the statement of cash flows (S of CF)

To provide information about the historical changes in cash (and

equivalents) during the period, i.e:
 Ability to generate cash: ability, certainty and timing
 Evaluating financial structure: staying liquid and solvent while
meeting obligations and paying dividends
 Understanding reasons for the difference between profit/(loss)
and net cash flow from operations
 Comparing entities’
 Operating performance
 Present value of future cash flows
3
 General format of the S of CF

• Appendices to AASB 107/IAS 7 provide examples of

acceptable formats for the S of CF
• Refer figure 16.1 of text for an example
• AASB 107/IAS 7 requires all cash flows to be reported on a
gross basis
• A net basis is allowed only in the following circumstances:
• Cash receipts and payment on behalf of customers
where this reflects the activities of the customer

• Cash receipts and payment where there is quick

turnover, large amounts and short maturities
4
 General format of the S of CF

• Operating cash flows may be reported using one of two methods:

• Direct method. Discloses classes of gross cash receipts and
payments

• Indirect method. Discloses:

• Classes of gross cash receipts and payments
• Non-cash items
• Items relating to investing or financial activities
(non-operating items)
• The effects of accruals

• The direct method is encouraged

5
 Concept of cash

Cash
• Cash on hand and demand deposits
• Includes bank overdrafts

Cash equivalents
• Short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible into
known amounts of cash , and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value
• Held to meet cash commitments and have a short maturity
(3 months or less)
• Eg, short-term interest bearing deposits
6
 Classifying cash flows

• Regardless of format used AASB 107/IAS 7 requires that

all cash flows be classified into the following categories:

• Operating activities (O)

• Investing activities (I)
• Financing activities (F)

7
 Classifying cash flows

Interest and dividends

• AASB 107/IAS 7 does not prescribe how interest and dividends should
be classified (ie O/I/F)
• Does require them to be separately disclosed and classified
consistently across periods
• Note textbook approach as follows:
• Interest received > investing
• Interest paid > operating
• Dividends received > investing
• Dividends paid > financing
Income tax
• AASB 107/IAS 7 also requires separate disclosure of income tax as an
operating activity
8
 Classifying cash flow activities:
Operating activities
The principal revenue-producing activities of an entity.
Examples include:
Cash inflows from… Cash outflows to…
Sale of goods/rendering Suppliers and employees
of services for goods and services
Royalties, fees, Government for income
commissions taxes
Interest received Lenders for interest
(may be investing) (may be financing)
Dividends received
(may be investing)
Classifying cash flow activities:
Investing activities
The acquisition/disposal of long-term assets and other
investments. Examples include:

Cash inflows from… Cash outflows to…

Sale of non-current assets
(PP&E,
intangibles, share
investments)
Repayments of loans
advanced to other parties
Acquire non-current
assets
(PP&E, intangibles, share
investments)
Lend money to other
parties
Classifying cash flow activities:
Financing activities
Activities that result in size and composition changes in equity
capital and borrowings. Examples include:

Cash inflows from… Cash outflows to…

Issuing shares and other Buy back shares
equity instruments
Issuing debentures and Repay debentures and
other borrowings other borrowings

Pay dividends
(may be operating)
 Preparing a S of CF – direct method

• Unlike statements of financial position and comprehensive

income, cash flow is NOT prepared from the trial balance
• Comparative statements of financial position are often used,
with supplementary information statement of
comprehensive income and specific general ledger
transactions
• Cash flows can be calculated in a number of ways. Common
methods include:
• Spreadsheet approach
• Reconstruction (T-account) method
• Formula method

12
 Preparing a S of CF – direct method

• Many cash flows are relatively easy to calculate – by looking at

the movements in the statement of financial position during
the year and the statement of comprehensive income. The
following cash flows can be a little more complicated:
• Receipts from customers
• Payments to suppliers, employees and others
• Income tax paid
• Dividends paid

• These more complicated cash flows is discussed in Question 1.

 Operating activities - indirect method

• Under the indirect method profit/(loss) is adjusted for

1. non-cash items
2. items relating to investing or financing activities (non-
operating items)
3. the effects of accruals

• The first two types of adjustments are identified by reviewing

the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income
• The third type of adjustments are identified by identifying
movement in statement of financial position accounts during
the year for all balances that relate to operating activities 29
