Composition of cash flow statement

• Operating cash• Financing activities• Investing activities

Operating cash

“Cash flows from operating activities are primarily derived from the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity. Therefore, they generally result from the transactions and other events that enter into the determination of profit or loss” AASB107 (Para 14)

Revenue Cash collected Expenses Cash paid

Investing

“The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from investing activities is important because the cash flows represent the extent to which expenditures have been made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows. Only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position are eligible for classification as investing activities” AASB107 (Para 16)

Non-current assets Intangible assets

Financing“The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from financing activities is important because it is useful in predicting claims on future cash flows by providers of capital to the entity” AASB107 (para17)

Debt Dividend Interest (received and paid)

So – what does this look like in the reports we receive as investors?
