Overview
Cash is King! It’s possible for a company to have a nice net income yet not generate enough cash to stay in business. The Statement of Cash Flows was developed to deal with this problem and show users exactly: (1) how a company gets its cash, (2) how a company uses its cash, and (3) how much cash is on hand at the end of each accounting period. This statement is the third required component of a firm’s financial reporting.
Many people do not know how to use this valuable financial statement or are even aware of its existence. In 1995 the American Institute of CPAs started requiring this financial statement (FASB 95) for financial reporting transparency and to deal with the problem of high net income accompanied by negative cash flow. This statement highlights the important difference between earnings and cash flow.
In some instances negative cash flow can be a good thing. For example, when a business is expanding, it might have negative cash flow for investment in new property, plant and equipment. A firm might also show negative cash flow because it is liquidating debt. But sometimes negative cash flow can be bad, especially if it results from regular business operations.
In addition to understanding the three major components of the Statement of Cash Flows it’s important to be able to use the newly created cash flow ratios. These ratios tell us the quality of reported net income, how a firm finances its expansion, if cash generated from operations is sufficient and many other critical items related to cash flow.
