CHAPTER 22
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES
1. Understand cash and cash equivalents as well as the business importance of cash flows, and describe the purpose and uses of the statement of cash flows. One sign of a healthy company is positive cash flow from operations. Companies can use these funds to finance expansion, to issue dividends, or to ensure that they remain solvent during economic downturns. Many consider the statement of cash flows to be less susceptible to earnings management than the statement of comprehensive income.
The primary purpose of this statement is to provide information about an entity’s cash receipts and cash payments during a period. A secondary objective is to report the entity’s operating, investing, and financing activities during the period.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid non-equity investments that are convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value. These amounts are reduced by bank overdrafts that fluctuate from positive to negative balances and that are repayable on demand. IFRS allows preferred shares acquired within a short period of their maturity to be included as a cash equivalent.
2. Identify the major classifications of cash flows and explain the significance of each classification. Cash flows are classified into those resulting from operating, investing, and financing activities. A company’s ability to generate operating cash flows affects its capacity to pay dividends to shareholders, to take advantage of investment opportunities, to provide internal financing for growth, and to meet obligations when they fall due. The amount of cash spent on investing activities affects an organization’s potential for future cash flows. Cash invested in increased levels of productive assets forms the basis for increased future operating cash inflows. Financing cash activities affect the firm’s capital structure and, therefore, the requirements for future cash outflows.
3. Prepare the operating activities section of a statement of cash flows using the direct versus the indirect method. The direct method presents operating cash flows in a manner similar to a condensed cash basis income statement. The accrual amounts are listed and adjusted whenever the cash received or paid out differs from the revenues, gains, expenses, and losses reported in net income, and for non-operating gains and losses.
4. Understand the basic steps in the manual preparation of a statement of cash flows.
The statement of cash flows (SCF) is usually based on an analysis of the changes in the accounts on the statement of financial position over the accounting period. The basic steps in preparing the SCF are to 1) determine the change in cash; 2) record information from the income statement onto the work sheet for the SCF; 3) analyze the change in each SFP account, identify all cash flows associated with changes in the SFP account balance, and record the effect on the SCF; and 4) complete the SCF.
5. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the direct method. The direct method involves determining the change in cash and cash equivalents during the period, inserting line items from the income statement as the starting point within the statement’s operating activities section, and analyzing the changes in all accounts on the statement of financial position to identify all transactions that have an impact on cash. Those with a cash impact are recorded on the statement of cash flows. To ensure that all cash flows have been identified, the results recorded on the statement are compared with the change in cash during the period. The statement is then prepared with required disclosures.
6. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method. The steps using the indirect method are the same as in Objective 5 above, with one exception. Rather than starting with line items from the income statement in the operating activities section, the net income amount is the beginning point. All the same adjustments are then made to adjust net income to a cash basis, but the style and format of the operating activities sections differ.
7. Prepare a complex statement of cash flows using both methods.
When preparing a more complex statement of cash flows under either the direct or indirect method, the same four step process can be followed: (1) Determine the change in cash; (2) Record information from the income statement to the statement of cash flows; (3) Analyze the change in each SFP account and identify/record the effect on the statement of cash flows; and (4) Complete the statement of cash flows.
8. Identify the financial presentation and disclosure requirements for the statement of cash flows. Under IFRS, disclosure is required of cash flows associated with interest and dividends received and paid, the definition and components of cash and cash equivalents reconciled to the amounts reported on the statement of financial position, and the amount of and explanation for cash and cash equivalents not available for use. All income tax cash flows are reported as operating flows unless they can be linked directly to investing or financing flows. Choices are available under IFRS for the reporting of interest and dividends received (operating or investing) and interest and dividends paid (operating or financing). Gross amounts should be reported except in specifically permitted circumstances, and non-cash investing and financing transactions are excluded from the statement of cash flows, but details about these are reported elsewhere on the financial statements. Disclosures regarding changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are now also required. ASPE presentation requirements are very similar, but required disclosures are limited to interest and dividends paid and charged to retained earnings and the amount of any restricted cash. In addition, interest and dividends received are both operating flows, and interest and dividends paid are operating flows unless they were charged directly to retained earnings.
9. Read and interpret a statement of cash flows. The first step in reading and interpreting a statement of cash flows is to look at the subtotals for the three classifications of activities and the overall change in cash. This provides a high-level summary of the period’s cash flows. Next, analyze the items within each section for additional insights, keeping alert for accounting policies that affect the type of cash flow reported. Familiarity with the company’s business and strategic direction is very useful in interpreting the statement.
10. Identify differences in IFRS and ASPE, and explain what changes are expected to standards for the statement of cash flows. There are no significant differences between IFRS and ASPE related to the statement of cash flows except for the definition of cash equivalents and the presentation and disclosure requirements identified in Learning Objective 8. Proposed updates to IAS 7 are discussed in the Looking Ahead section.
11. Use a work sheet to prepare a statement of cash flows. A work sheet can be used to organize the analysis and cash flow information needed to prepare a statement of cash flows. This method accounts for all changes in the balances of non-cash statement of financial position accounts from the period’s beginning to the end, identifying all operating, investing, and financing cash flows in the process. The statement of cash flows is prepared from the cash flow information accumulated at the bottom of the work sheet.

Ex. 22-81 Use the statement of cash flows and the impact of using the direct versus the indirect method
a) Explain the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
b) Explain how the cash flow statement is affected by choosing the direct method versus the indirect method.
Solution 22-81
a) The primary purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about an entity’s cash receipts and cash payments during a period. A secondary objective is to provide information on a cash basis about its operating, investing, and financing activities. The statement of cash flows therefore reports cash receipts, cash payments, and the net change in cash and cash equivalents resulting from an enterprise’s operating, investing, and financing activities. It does so in a format that reconciles the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalent balances and is designed to provide relevant information.
b) Only the operating activities section is affected by the choice of method. The investing and financing sections are the same under both methods.
The direct method adjusts revenues and expenses to a cash basis by showing the actual cash received from customers (and any other forms of revenue) and the actual amount of cash paid out for suppliers, employees, operating expenses, interest, taxes, etc. The difference between cash revenues and cash expenses is cash net income, i.e., the net cash flow from operating activities.
The indirect method adjusts accrual net income to a cash basis. This is done by starting with the accrual net income and adding or subtracting changes in the balances of current assets and current liabilities during the year and adjusting for non-cash items included in net income. Examples of non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, Loss on impairment of accounts receivable, amortization of bond discount or premium, book gains and losses on disposal of assets, and equity method revenues and losses.

Ex. 22-86 Calculating and using free cash flow
Sherpa Advertising Ltd. produces the following information from its latest financial statements:
Net income $ 21,000
Dividends paid 5,000
Average total assets 210,000
Current assets 150,000
Current liabilities 100,000
Cash provided by operating activities 19,000
Net capital expenditures 10,000
Sales 150,000
Total liabilities 105,000
Total assets 175,000
Cash used in investing activities 12,000
Instructions
(a) Calculate the free cash flow.
(b) Explain the importance of the free cash flow calculation.
Solution 22-86
(a) Free cash flow = Cash provided by operating activities – Net capital expenditures
$19,000 – $10,000 = $9,000
(b) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP performance measure that uses information provided on the statement of cash flows as an indicator of financial flexibility. It reflects net operating cash flows reduced by the capital expenditures that are needed to sustain the current level of operations. The resulting cash flow is the discretionary cash that a company has available for increasing its capacity and acquiring new investments, paying dividends, retiring debt, repurchasing its shares, or simply adding to its liquidity. In general, companies with significant free cash flow can take advantage of new opportunities or cope well during poor economic times without jeopardizing current operations.

Ex. 22-87 Choices of statement of cash flows categories under IFRS
Under IFRS, choices are allowed in the categorization of interest paid and received and dividends received. Explain what these choices are.
Solution 22-87
Under IFRS, there are several choices available for these items:
1. Interest paid/received and dividends received (except dividends received from a significant influence investment) can be recognized in operating activities (assuming they are included in calculating net income).
2. Interest paid can also be treated as a financing outflow.
3. Interest and dividends received can also be treated as investing inflows.
4. Dividends paid can be treated as a financing outflow (highlighting the fact they are returns to shareholders), or an as operating outflow (as a measure of the ability of operations to cover returns to shareholders).
Note, however, once management makes the appropriate choices, they must be applied consistently.
Difficulty: Easy
Learning Objective: Identify differences in IFRS and ASPE, and explain what changes are expected to standards for the statement of cash flows.

Interest expense 9,000
Income before taxes 48,000
Income taxes 12,000
Net income $ 36,000
The following additional data were provided for calendar 2023:
1. Dividends declared and paid were $24,000.
2. Equipment was sold for $30,000. This equipment originally cost $44,000 and had a book value of $36,000 at the time of sale. The loss on sale was included in “selling and administrative expenses,” as was the depreciation expense for the year.
3. Bonds were retired during the year at par.
Instructions
a) From the information above, prepare a statement of cash flows (direct method) for calendar 2023.
b) CRITICAL THINKING: The company CFO reviews the statement of cash flows and expresses a preference for using the indirect method rather than the direct method that you prepared. Explain to the CFO why the direct method was chosen. As part of your explanation provide a rational for the use of the direct method versus the indirect method.

2. $894,000 – $12,000 (decrease in Inventory) – $10,000 (increase in A/P)
3. $99,000 – $10,000 (depreciation) – $6,000 (loss on sale of equipment)
b) CRITICAL THINKING: The direct method adjusts revenues and expenses to a cash basis. The difference between cash revenues and cash expenses is cash net income, which is equal to net cash flow from operating activities (effectively, reporting income on a cash basis). The indirect method involves adjusting accrual net income to a cash basis. This is done by starting with accrual net income, adjusting for changes in working capital items and adding or subtracting non-cash items included in net income.
Public companies generally prefer the indirect method, whereas lending officers and investors tend to prefer the direct method, because of the additional information provided. The only section affected by use of the direct vs indirect methods is the operating activities. IFRS and ASPE also encourage the use of the direct method.
The principal advantage of the direct method is that it shows operating cash receipts and payments and is more consistent with the primary objective of a statement of cash flows, which is to provide information about an entity’s cash receipts and cash payments during a specific period. Advocates of this method maintain that such information is useful for estimating future cash flows. A possible disadvantage is that many companies say their data collection methods do not gather the information required to use the direct method, although this argument may be a bit weak given the powerful computer systems available today. As well, supporters of the indirect method say the direct method may incorrectly suggest that net cash flow from operating activities is as good as (or even better than) accrual net income as a performance measure.
The principal advantage of the indirect method is that it focuses on the difference between net income reported on the income statement and the actual cash flow from operating activities. Other advantages offered by indirect method advocates are that it is the “familiar” method which has been used for many years, and that it is cheaper to develop the information compared to the information required for the direct method.
