Cash Flow Statement
In inflationary times, one would expect rising selling prices to generate sufficient cash to
compensate for the rising costs of running a business.
However, this is not always true.
Example: If most of the company’s sales are on credit, this will lead to an increase in debtors.
Cash would not be immediately available to finance the purchase of new stock.
A recession will add to the liquidity, solvency and cash flow problems that a company could
experience.
Example: 2008 worldwide recession
Purpose of a Cash Flow statement:
The objective is to provide users of the financial statements with information of all the financial
resources (Fixed assets, debtors, creditors, interest, sales, shareholders capital etc.)during the
accounting period.
In particular, details of any cash generated or used during operations, investing and financing
activities.
The cash flow statement will:
- Reflect a summary of all cash received and paid during a financial period
- Provide quality information to the users of company financial statements
- Assist in identifying the degree of risk
- Assist in identifying the ability of the company to generate profits and favourable cash flow in
- the future
The cash flow statement is intended to explain the way in which the cash resources of a
company have changed.
