Although depreciation expense reduces net income, it does
not reduce cash. The company must add it back to net
income.

the sale.

receipts are higher than revenue earned under the accrual basis.
Company adds to net income the amount of the decrease in
accounts receivable.

CHANGES IN CURRENT LIABILITIES
When Accounts Payable increases, the company received
more in goods than it actually paid for. The increase is added
to net income to determine net cash provided by operating
activities.
When Income Tax Payable decreases, the income tax
expense reported on the income statement was less than the
amount of taxes paid during the period. The decrease is
subtracted from net income to determine net cash provided by
operating activities.

Burning Through Our Cash
Box (cloud storage), Cyan (game creator), Fireeye (cyber security), and Mobile Iron (mobile security of data) are a few of the tech companies that recently have issued or are about to issue stock to the public. Investors now have to determine whether these tech companies have viable products and high chances for success. An important consideration in evaluating a tech company is determining its financial flexibility—its ability to withstand adversity if an economic setback occurs. One way to measure financial flexibility is to assess a company’s cash burn rate, which determines how long its cash will hold out if the company is expending more cash than it is receiving. Fireeye, for example, burned cash in excess of $50 million in 2013. But the company also had over $150 million as a cash cushion, so it would take over 30 months before it runs out of cash. And even though Box has a much lower cash burn rate than Fireeye, it still has over a year’s cushion. Compare that to the tech companies in 2000, when over one-quarter of them were on track to run out of cash within a year. And many did. Fortunately, the tech companies of today seem to be better equipped to withstand an economic setback.

The change in cash is equal to the change in all of the other
balance sheet accounts.
If we analyze the changes in all of the noncash balance sheet
accounts, we will explain the change in the cash account.

Similarities
Companies preparing financial statements under IFRS must prepare
a statement of cash flows as an integral part of the financial
statements.
Both IFRS and GAAP require that the statement of cash flows
should have three major sections—operating, investing, and
financing—along with changes in cash and cash equivalents.
Key Points
LEARNINGOBJECTIVE
Compare the procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS.

LO 7
13-75
Similar to GAAP, the cash flow statement can be prepared using
either the indirect or direct method under IFRS. In both U.S. and
international settings, companies choose for the most part to use the
indirect method for reporting net cash flows from operating activities.
The definition of cash equivalents used in IFRS is similar to that
used in GAAP. A major difference is that in certain situations, bank
overdrafts are considered part of cash and cash equivalents under
IFRS (which is not the case in GAAP). Under GAAP, bank
overdrafts are classified as financing activities in the statement of
cash flows and are reported as liabilities on the balance sheet.

Differences
IFRS requires that noncash investing and financing activities be
excluded from the statement of cash flows. Instead, these noncash
activities should be reported elsewhere. This requirement is
interpreted to mean that noncash investing and financing activities
should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements instead
of in the financial statements. Under GAAP, companies may present
this information on the face of the statement of cash flows.
Key Points
LO 7

One area where there can be substantial differences between IFRS
and GAAP relates to the classification of interest, dividends, and
taxes. The following table indicates the differences between the two
approaches.
Key Points
LO 7
13-78
Under IFRS, some companies present the operating section in a
single line item, with a full reconciliation provided in the notes to the
financial statements. This presentation is not seen under GAAP.
Key Points
LO 7
13-79
Presently, the FASB and the IASB are involved in a joint project on the
presentation and organization of information in the financial statements.
One interesting approach, revealed in a published proposal from that
project, is that in the future the income statement and balance sheet would
adopt headings similar to those of the statement of cash flows. That is, the
income statement and balance sheet would be broken into operating,
investing, and financing sections.
Looking to the Future
LO 7
13-80
Under IFRS, interest paid can be reported as:
a) only a financing element.
b) a financing element or an investing element.
c) a financing element or an operating element.
d) only an operating element.
IFRS Self-Test Questions
LO 7
13-81
IFRS requires that noncash items:
a) be reported in the section to which they relate, that is, a
noncash investing activity would be reported in the
investing section.
b) be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
c) do not need to be reported.
d) be treated in a fashion similar to cash equivalents.
IFRS Self-Test Questions
LO 7
13-82
In the future, it appears likely that:
a) the income statement and balance sheet will have headings of
operating, investing, and financing, much like the statement of
cash flows.
b) cash and cash equivalents will be combined in a single line
item.
c) the IASB will not allow companies to use the direct approach
to the statement of cash flows.
d) None of the above.
