Understand the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows: It is a financial statement that provides information about a company's cash inflows and outflows during a specific period, categorized into three main sections.
Identify the three main sections of the Statement of Cash Flows: These are Operating Activities, Investing Activities, and Financing Activities. Each section represents a different type of cash flow related to the company's operations, investments, and financing decisions.
Clarify the role of Operating Activities: This section includes cash flows from the company's core business operations, such as receipts from customers and payments to suppliers.
Clarify the role of Investing Activities: This section includes cash flows related to the purchase or sale of long-term assets, such as property, equipment, or investments.
Clarify the role of Financing Activities: This section includes cash flows related to borrowing, repaying debt, issuing equity, or paying dividends. Note that 'Earnings per share activities' is not a section of the Statement of Cash Flows, as it refers to a financial metric rather than a cash flow category.
