What is Cash Flow Statement?
- Cash Flow Statement
- The Cash Flow Statement shows money actually received and paid during a period, categorised into Operating, Investing, and Financing activities — distinct from the accrual P&L.
Cash Flow Categories
Operating activities: cash from customers, payments to suppliers, salaries paid, taxes paid — the day-to-day business. Investing activities: purchase or sale of fixed assets, investments. Financing activities: loans received/repaid, dividends paid, share capital raised. Net change = closing cash − opening cash.
