Description
Cash is important to any business. Investors usually look at net income as a main indicator to evaluate the company’s performance and project future results. But the main question here, how long this profit would be expected to continue? Revenues and expenses are recognized based on accrual accounting principle. As a result, we can report our profit in the income statement even though we didn’t collect the cash from our customers. If this case continues for a long period, the company will start to generate negative cash flows from its operations. In the long run, it will not be able to settle its liabilities and it may be filed for bankruptcy.This course will walk you through all the basics of preparing the statement of cash flows in compliance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS 7).
