Definition:It is a statement which shows the cash situation as
where exactly the cash has come from during the year, and
exactly where it has been used up.
Profit and liquidity not directly related:
Many people think that if we are making profits then there should
be no shortage of cash. For example
1. A sole trader is making $40,000 a year profits and however, his
drawings have been over $60,000 a year for some time.
2. If a company’s policy of Accounts Receivable is over-generous.
3. A partnership whose products will not be on the market for quite
a long time has invested in some very expensive machinery. A
lot of money has been spent now but no income will result in
near future.
So businesses can easily run out of cash. And cashflow
statement can help to signal the development of such problems.
CASH COMES FROM CASH GOES TO
1. Profits 1. Losses
