...Subject: Statement of Cash Flow CC: Learning Team A The Carpino Company is pleased to announce that the organization has experience an exciting first year. This memo and the attached cash flow statement summarize the important details of Carpino’s statement of cash flows for the period ending January 31, 2007. It will provide the shareholders reasons for the difference between net income and net cash used by operating, investing, and financing activities. The cash flow statements will also determine Carpino’s ability to generate future cash flows, and to pay dividends and meet obligations. Carpino’s cash flow statement shows a net loss because expenses are $30,000 higher than revenues for the end of year. However, depreciation expense of $55,000 must be subtracted from the expenses since it is not an actual cash item expense. The depreciation expense is calculated in the operating activities and result in a positive net income of $20,000. In preparing the cash flow statement, items that do not affect physical cash income must be adjusted into the original net income figure. While GAAP requires us to accrue for items in the current year, the cash flow is only a view of actual cash in and cash out. The end result is a positive aspect for Carpino Company because the company has a sufficient surplus of revenue. The primary reason Carpino has an increase in cash is based on financing activities. During the 2007 year Carpino issued $420,000 of capital stock. Cash flow from financing...

...In financial accounting, a cash flow statement, also known as statement of cash flows or funds flow statement,[1] is a financial statement that shows how changes in balance sheet accounts and income affect cash and cash equivalents, and breaks the analysis down to operating, investing, and financing activities.

...Statement of Cash Flows Paper ”What is the purpose of the statement of cash flows? What information does it provide”(Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, p. 1253)? Companies provide four statements to abide by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These financial statements are the income statement, equity statement, the balance statement, and the statement of cash flows. Each statement provides different types of information necessary to make a knowledgeable decision about a investing in company. The statement of cash flows is useful because it ” provides information on a cash basis about an organization operating, investing, and financing activities” (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, p. 1213).

...Statement of Cash Flows It was the fall of 2011 and I was reporting sales close to $10,000 for the month of November, thanks in part, to the holiday rush. On the surface, it was pretty good for a first-year online “micro” business selling custom tableware and home decor, run by one person on a part-time basis. As I was caught up on the selling-to-customers aspect of my business, I neglected to pay attention to the inflows and outflows of cash until it was time to file tax returns the following spring. I learned that the sales revenue generated did not necessarily mean that I had that amount of cash to spend. Had I realized this sooner, I would not have signed a 6 month lease on a laser cutter I found to have trouble paying for in the following months. It was trial by fire and I learned the importance of closely monitoring cash flows. As a small business owner, one can imagine that the importance on cash flow are orders of magnitude greater for businesses where millions or even billions of dollars are on the line. The Statement of Cash Flows allow companies to understand the “why’s” and the “how’s” of the amount of cash at the beginning of the period came to be the amount at the end of the period. The cash flow statement has three main areas. Cash Flows from Investing Activities are those cash flows that are involved in activities that finance the business, such as a purchase or sale of investment in securities. The Cash Flows from Financing Activities are the cash flows...

...that the aim of cash flow reporting is to explore ways in which the underlying liquidity of a reporting entity can be revealed in accounting terms. Profit is regarded as an indicator of financial success, but, as anyone running a business will tell you, cash is king. The measurement of profit is usually based on a mixture of factual transactions and unavoidable subjective accounting judgments. “The stock market prefers the fantasy of smooth growth to the reality of fluctuating operational performance. It falls to the creative accountant to ensure that those fluctuations are removed by hoarding profits in years of plenty for release in years of famine... Just like sin, cash flow will eventually find a company out.” So wrote Ian Griffiths in his bestseller Creative Accounting .

The information provided by the accounting practices through financial reporting helps decision makers make appropriate business decisions. The statement of cash flows is one of the three primary financial reports that companies should include in external financial reports to its users according to the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The statement of cash flows provides pertinent information to its users. The Primary Purpose of Cash Flows “The primary purpose of the statement of cash flows is to show the changes in cash of a company from one period to the next” (Kieso, Weygandt & Warfield, 2007, p. 1121). The statement of cash flows focuses on the sources and uses of cash during a period.

...STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS Cash flows are critical to a company’s success because among other things they measure the ability of a business to generate cash internally. Positive cash flows allow a company to meet its obligations with creditors and suppliers, take advantage of investment opportunities, replace assets, negotiate better pricing in purchases, and pay dividends; all these without the need of incurring in external financing. Net cash flow needs to be distinguished from Net Income, which includes accounts receivable, accounts payable and other items for which payment has not been received or made (Accruals). Cash flow is used to assess the quality of a company's income; that is, how liquid it is, which can indicate whether the company is positioned to remain solvent. Net income (Income statement) measures a company’s financial results after business operations and financing activities, and it is crucial for investors as this is the statement that determines if overall a business is profitable or not. But because most companies use the accrual accounting method (which I will not explain on this paper), the income statement may not reflect actual changes in cash position. This is why investors should not rely only on this statement to make decisions as should use it only as one “indicator” of revenues minus costs, but it does not give the whole picture of a company’s financial health. It is important for investors and management to analyze the four main financial statements...

...How to analyze a cash flow statement Once you have constructed a cash flow statement, you will be much closer to understanding the financial position of your company. While a balance sheet and income statement are tools for management, without a cash flow statement they are limited barometers and may even be misleading. Operating Activities The cash flow statement will tell you where money came from and how it was used. When analyzing cash flow, the first place to look is the cash flow from operating activities. It tells you whether the firm generated cash or whether it needs a cash infusion. A few periods of negative cash from operating activities is not by itself a reason for alarm if it is based on plans for company growth or due to a planned increase in receivables or inventories. However, if a negative cash flow from operating activities is a surprise to managers and owners, it may be undesirable. Over time, if uncorrected, it can foretell business failure. Managers and owners should pay particular attention to increases in accounts receivable. The cash flow statement gives the true picture of the account. A large increase in accounts receivables may warrant new billing or collection procedures. Investing Activities The cash flow statement puts investing activities into perspective. At one glance, you can see whether or not a surplus in operations is being used to grow the company. A lack of investing activities, which is few purchases of new equipment or other assets...
