Introduction
Every business organization needs to prepare its financial reports to comply with authorized requirements and have an in-depth understanding of the organization's financial status. According to accounting standards, financial statements mainly include income statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, equity changes, and notes to accounts. The balance sheet shows the economic situation of the business at end of the fiscal year, and the income statement shows the financial performance of the business during the financial year. The CFS shows the liquidity status of the enterprise, and the equity table shows the fluctuation of equity status. A CFS is an insight into the cash flow in a business, which is bifurcated according to the nature of the transaction (such as operation, investment, or financing). This article studies the literature that provides knowledge about cash flow statements and income statements. Besides, three companies were selected and analyzed to understand the concept of cash flow report.
Part A
Do the relevant research to critically examine the relative information content of the income statement and statement of cash flows.
The cash flow report as well as income is part of the company's balance sheet. The CFS shows the exact amount of cash inflows and inflows from the company over time. The income statement is a general financial statement. It shows the company's income and total costs, including non-cash accounting, for instance, depreciation over a time (And
n and Jankensggrd, XXXXXXXXXXAn entity’s CFS and financial performance statement can be defined as part of the entity’s financial performance statement. The CFS records cash generated as well as used within the time specified in its title. Also, CFS includes cash generation categories such as operating activities, financing activities, and investment activities.
Operating cash flow (OCF) converts items recorded in the income statement from an accrual basis to cash. At the same time, investment activities recorded the sale and purchase of property plants or equipment (PPE). The issuance and repurchase of the company's bonds and stocks and dividends paid by entities are reported under the cash generated from fundraising activities (Bradbury, XXXXXXXXXXHowever, the income performance statement/performance statement is the most general financial statement, representing the income and expenses of the business. Both statements provide different but inte
elated information. Therefore, CFS will provide short-term information about the company's daily operations, and the income statement will present a huge picture of the company because it considers a financial factor in cash flow, such as non-cash costs for example depreciation. The financial performance table can observe the long-term trend of corporate income and expenses (Brown and Pinello, XXXXXXXXXXAccountants, potential lenders, creditors, employees, shareholders, and investors depend on the information provided by CFS because it aims to provide information on business liquidity and solvency. Also, it improves the comparability of the operating performance of different business entities and the possibility of future cash flow. In contrast, investors interested in financial performance statements can evaluate the company's past performance and forecast future performance. When investors assess the risk of future cash flows, they need two statements because the CFS records the impact of the non-cash business (Chang, Dasgupta, Wong and Yao, 2013).
Cash Flow Statements
The CFS shows the co
ect amount of cash outflows and inflows of the business each month, quarter, or year. It captures the present operating outcomes or changes on balance sheets, for instance, the increase or reduction of accounts receivable moreover accounts payable, as well as do not include non-cash accounting items for example amortization and depreciation (Chubka and Zhelizniak, XXXXXXXXXXCash flow generally comes from earning derived from activities of a business, nevertheless might increase existing funds because of credit.
Income statement
The most general financial report is the income statement, which shows the business income as well as total costs, including non-cash accounting for example depreciation, which is traditionally quarterly, monthly, or yearly (Ehrenfeld and Dannenberg, XXXXXXXXXXYou can also use another method called the direct technique to prepare the cash flow statement.
Part B
a)
To examine the main source of cash for each entity, we observed the cash flow from an operating activity because the CF from operating activities includes the accrued cash originally from the financial statements. This section includes accounts receivable, accounts payable, and income tax payable. Cash generated from operations is the first key figure to be solved because it
