Simply put, a cash flow statement is the
movement of money in and out of your business.
![Page 6: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A cash flow statement can answer the questions:
‘Where did the money come from?’and
‘Where did it go?’
![Page 7: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The primary purpose is to provide information
regarding a company’s cash receipts and cash payments
![Page 8: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It can be used to assess the timing, amount and predictability of future
cash flow.

How is the Cash Flow Statement Different from The Other Financial Statements?
![Page 10: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Cash Flow Statement complements the income
statement and Balance Sheet.
![Page 11: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It is designed to convert the accrual basis of accounting
used in the income statement and balance sheet back to a
cash basis.
![Page 12: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
While the income statement tells you if you are making a profit or a loss and
by how much.
![Page 13: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Balance Sheet tells you what you
own, what you owe and who you’ve gotten
money from.
![Page 14: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
They are both prepared on accrual basis.

The Cash Flow statement is the one financial statement prepared strictly on a cash basis and lets you know how much
liquid cash your company is making.

“As the number of corporate failures has risen, there is one line that bankers continue to echo: it is not a fall in profits
that leads to failure, but a lack of cash.”

a result of those transactions

How to Analyze a Cash Flow Statement
![Page 35: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
When analyzing cash flow, the first place to look is the cash flow for operating activities
![Page 36: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A large increase in use in cash may be positive as it indicates a large booking or deal has occurred for
which payment is expected
![Page 37: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A lack of investing activities, which is few purchases of new equipment or other assets, may
indicate stagnant growth.
![Page 38: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
As a company expands, financing activities will become increasingly important.
![Page 39: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
It will tell outsiders how the company has grown and the
financial strategies of management.

What do you do when you have a
negative cash flow?
![Page 42: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Make an effort to increase sales!
![Page 43: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Try and collect payment from customers more quickly. This can help
you avoid long gaps and avoid transactions dragging on.
![Page 44: Cash Flow Statement Simplified](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051112/55a52fe01a28ab52348b4690/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Attempt to reduce monthly expenditure. Buy supplies in bulk to get a discount, buy from a more competitively priced supplier,
rent smaller premises, switch utility companies to reduce monthly outgoings –
anything!
