Statement of Cash Flows
The Balance Sheet
Should disclose wealth of a company at a point in time Wealth is present value of all
resources obligations
The Balance Sheet
This measurement technique is limited Consequently, a variety of measurement techniques are
used to measure the elements of the balance sheetHistorical (Historical cost)
Current oriented (Current value)
Future oriented (Expected realizable value)
Balance Sheet Elements
The elements of the balance sheet were defined in SFAC No. 6 as:
Assets
Liabilities Equity
Definitions arise from the FASB’s asset - liability approach to income determination
Departure from previous definitions that resulted in valuations arrived at via the residual effect of income determination

Evolution of the Statement
of Cash Flows Prior to 1971
only two required financial statements
Firms were preparing funds statements
No guidelines - Methods of preparing statement:1 Cash2 Working capital3 All financial resources
APB No. 3 - recommended APB No. 19 - mandatory - all financial resources
APB Opinions 3 and 19
Designed to answer the following questions 1 Where did the profits go?2 Why weren’t dividends larger?3 How was it possible to distribute dividends
in the presence of a loss?4 Why are current assets down when there was a profit?5 Why is extra financing required?6 How was the expansion financed?7 Where did the funds from the sale of securities go?8 How was the debt retirement accomplished?9 How was the increase in working capital financed?
Cash Flow Information
Should enable financial statement users to
Predict the amount of cash that is likely to be distributed as dividends or interest
Evaluate risk Presentation of cash flow information assists in
evaluating Liquidity
nearness to cash Solvency
going concern Financial flexibility
react to crisis
Historical Perspective
Discussion memorandum “Reporting Funds Flows, Liquidity, and Financial Flexibility” preceded the issuance of SFAS No. 95
Questions raised in this DM included:1. Which concept of funds should be adopted?2. How should transactions not having a direct impact on funds be
reported?3. Which of the various approaches should be used for presenting
funds flow information?4. How should information about funds flow from operations be
presented?5. Should funds flow information be separated into outflows for
(a) maintenance(b) expansion of operating capacity, and(c) nonoperating purposes
Historical Perspective
Exposure Draft “Reporting Income, Cash Flows and Financial
Position of Business Enterprises” SFAC No. 5
“Recognition and Measurement in Financial Statements of Business Enterprises”

Objectives of accounting discussed in SFAC No’s. 1 and 5 led to conclusion Statement of cash flows should replace the
previously required statement of changes in financial position
Provide relevant information about cash receipts and cash payments of an enterprise

Uses of Cash Flow Information
A major objective of accounting to provide data allowing the presentation of cash
flows to investors and creditors to allow evaluation of risk
Net income is not directly associated with cash
Investors expect return equal to market rate of interest for investments with equal risk
discounted future cash flows > investmentdiscounted future cash flows > investment
Uses of Cash Flow Information
Past cash flows are the best indicators of future cash flows
Empirical research indicates cash flow information has an incremental value over earnings and is superior to disclosure of changes in working capital
Uses of Cash Flow Information
Net cash provided (used) from operating activities
- Net cash provided (used) from investing activities

International Accounting Standards
The IASC has discussed:1 The statement of financial position
and the various measurement bases used in accountingDefined assets, liabilities and equity in “Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements”
2 The information to be disclosed on the balance sheet and statement of cash flows in a revised IAS No. 1
3 The presentation of the statement of cash flows in IAS No. 7, “Cash Flow Statements”
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements
Economic decisions made by users require an evaluation of the ability of an enterprise to generate cashFinancial position of an enterprise is affected by its
financial structure liquidity and solvency capacity to adapt to change (financial flexibility)
Measurement bases include historical cost (most common) current cost realizable value present value
Definitions of assets, liabilities and equity are similar to U. S. GAAP
IAS No. 1: Presentation of Financial Statements
Recommends disclosures similar to U. S. GAAP
Revised IAS No. 1 requires assets to be classified as current and noncurrent
unless a liquidity presentation provides more relevant and reliable information
recognizes that there are differences in the nature and function of assets, liabilities, and equity
so fundamental that they should be presented on the face of the balance sheet.
Specifies specific categories of items to be disclosed
IAS No. 7 The required presentation of the statement
of cash flows is very similar to U. S. GAAP
Operating, financing and investing activities are to be disclosed
Indirect or direct method of disclosing operating activities may be used stated a preference for the direct method.
