LO 2 Distinguish among operating, investing, and financing activities.
Companies favor the indirect method for two reasons:
1. Easier and less costly to prepare, and
2. Focuses on the differences between net income and net
cash flow from operating activities.

Step 1: Operating Activities
Determine net cash provided/used by operating activities by
converting net income from accrual basis to cash basis.
LO 3 Prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method.
Common adjustments to Net Income (Loss):
Add back non-cash expenses (depreciation, amortization,
or depletion expense).
Deduct gains and add losses.
Changes in non-cash current asset and current liability
accounts.

Depreciation Expense
Although depreciation expense reduces net income, it does
not reduce cash. The company must add it back to net
income.
LO 3 Prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method.
Cash flows from operating activities:
Net income € 145,000
Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash
provided by operating activities:
Depreciation expense 9,000

Loss on Disposal of Plant Assets
Companies should report cash received from the sale
(disposal) of plant assets in the investing activities section.
Because of this,
any loss on sale is added to net income in the
operating section.
any gain on sale is deducted from net income in the
operating section.

receipts are higher than revenue earned under the accrual
basis.

Company adds to net income the amount of the decrease in
accounts receivable.

When the Prepaid Expense balance increases, cash paid for
expenses is higher than expenses reported on an accrual
basis. The company deducts the decrease from net income
to arrive at net cash provided by operating activities.
If prepaid expenses decrease, reported expenses are higher
than the expenses paid.

Changes to Non-Cash Current Liability Accounts
When Accounts Payable increases, the company received more
in goods than it actually paid for. The increase is added to net
income to determine net cash provided by operating activities.
When Income Taxes Payable decreases, the income tax
expense reported on the income statement was less than the
amount of taxes paid during the period. The decrease is
subtracted from net income to determine net cash provided by
operating activities.

What this means is that the change in cash is equal to the
change in all of the other statement of financial position
accounts.
Another way to think about this is that if we analyze the
changes in all of the non-cash statement of financial position
accounts, we will explain the change in the cash account.

Key Points
Companies preparing financial statements under both GAAP and
IFRS must prepare a statement of cash flows as an integral part of
the financial statements.
Both IFRS and GAAP require that the statement of cash flows
should have three major sections—operating, investing, and
financing—along with changes in cash and cash equivalents.
Similar to IFRS, the statement of cash flows can be prepared using
either the indirect or direct method under GAAP. Companies choose
for the most part to use the indirect method for reporting net cash
flows from operating activities.
Another Perspective
13-70
Key Points
The definition of cash equivalents used in GAAP is similar to that
used in IFRS. A major difference is that in certain situations, bank
overdrafts are considered part of cash and cash equivalents under
IFRS (which is not the case in GAAP). Under GAAP, bank overdrafts
are classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows
and are reported as liabilities on the statement of financial position.
IFRS requires that non-cash investing and financing activities be
excluded from the statement of cash flows. Instead, these non-cash
activities should be reported elsewhere. This requirement is
interpreted to mean that non-cash investing and financing activities
should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements instead
of in the financial statements. Under GAAP, companies may present
this information on the face of the statement of cash flows.
Another Perspective
13-71
Key Points
One area where there can be substantial differences between IFRS
and GAAP relates to the classification of interest, dividends, and
taxes. The following table indicates the differences between the two
approaches.
Another Perspective
13-72
Key Points
Under IFRS, some companies present the operating section in a
single line item, with a full reconciliation provided in the notes to the
financial statements. This presentation is not seen under GAAP.
Similar to IFRS, under GAAP companies must disclose the amount
of taxes and interest paid. Under GAAP, companies disclose this in
the notes to the financial statements. Under IFRS, some companies
disclose this information in the notes, but others provide individual
line items on the face of the statement. In order to provide this
information on the face of the statement, companies first add back
the amount of interest expense and tax expense (similar to adding
back depreciation expense) and then further down the statement
they subtract the cash amount paid for interest and taxes.
Another Perspective
13-73
Looking to the Future
Presently, the FASB and the IASB are involved in a joint project on the presentation
and organization of information in the financial statements. One interesting approach,
revealed in a published proposal from that project, is that in the future the income
statement and statement of financial position (balance sheet) would adopt headings
similar to those of the statement of cash flows. That is, the income statement and
statement of financial position would be broken into operating, investing, and
financing sections.
With respect to the cash flow statement specifically, the notion of cash equivalents
will probably not be retained. That is, cash equivalents will not be combined with cash
but instead will be reported as a form of highly liquid, low-risk investment. The
definition of cash in the existing literature would be retained, and the statement of
cash flows would present information on changes in cash only. In addition, the FASB
favors presentation of operating cash flows using the direct method only. However,
the majority of IASB members express a preference for not requiring use of the direct
method of reporting operating cash flows.
