Evolution of the Statement of Cash Flows Early efforts to instill the standard of accrual accounting internationally suppressed the widespread practice of cash flow reporting. The statement of changes in financial position was the predecessor to the statement of cash flows. The increasingly widespread acceptance of cash flow reporting in the 1980’s, coupled with a recommendation in 1984 of FASB Concept Statement 5 that a full set of financial statements show cash flows during the period, virtually assured the eventual requirement of a statement of cash flows.

Reconciliation with Change in Cash Balance The net amount of cash inflows and outflows reconciles the change in the company’s beginning and ending cash balances. For example, assume the net increase in cash is $9 million and the Cash beginning balance is $20 million. The cash reconciliation would be as follows:
Learning Objectives Identify transactions that represent noncash investing and financing activities. LO7
Noncash Investing and Financing Activities Significant investing and financing transactions not involving cash also are reported in the Statement of Cash Flows. • Acquiring an asset by incurring a debt payable to the seller. • Acquiring an asset by entering into a capital lease. • Converting debt into common stock or other equity securities. • Exchanging noncash assets or liabilities for other noncash assets or liabilities.
Learning Objectives Prepare a statement of cash flows with the aid of a spreadsheet or T-accounts. LO8
Reconstructing the events and transactions that occurred during the period helps identify the operating, investing and financing activities to be reported. A spreadsheet can be used to ensure that no reportable activities are inadvertently overlooked. Using a Spreadsheet Let’s see how to use a spreadsheet to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows on the next few slides.
We begin by entering the beginning and ending balances for each account on the comparative balance sheet and income statement. The changes columns will be used later to explain the increase or decrease in each account balance.
The beginning balances for income statement accounts are always zero.
Next we allocate space on the spreadsheet for the statement of cash flows. Spreadsheet entries duplicate the actual journal entries used to record the transactions as they occurred during the year. They are only entered on the spreadsheet and are not recorded in the accounting records.
Let’s start by analyzing Sales Revenue and its related account Accounts Receivable by looking at the relationship in a T-account format.
We can see from this analysis that cash received from customers must have been $98 million. Let’s see how to post this entry to the spreadsheet.
First, $2 million is debited to Accounts Receivable to account for the total change in the account. Then, $100 million is credited to Sales Revenue to account for the total change in the account.
The final part of this entry is a $98 million entry on the Statement of Cash Flows under Cash Inflows from Customers. Let’s skip ahead and look at the analysis of Short-term Investments.
The $12 million increase in the Short-term Investments account is due to the purchase of short-term investments during the year. In the textbook, entry number 12 illustrates the analysis of the Short-term Investment account.
The final part of this entry is a $12 million entry on the Statement of Cash Flows under Investing Activities. Now, let’s look at a noncash transaction.
In entry number 14, we find that a note payable was issued as payment for a building. Investing in a new building is a significant investing activity and financing the acquisition with long-term debt is a significant financing activity. x x x denotes a noncash transaction

Here is the Statement of Cash Flows prepared using the direct method.
Preparing an SCF: The Indirect Method The indirect method derives the net cash increases or decreases from operating activities indirectly by starting with reported net income and “working backwards” to convert that amount to a cash basis.
Depreciation Expense Adding these items back to net income restores net income to what it would have been had depreciation and the loss not been subtracted at all. Loss on Sale of Equipment Subtracting the gain reverses the effect of the gain having been added to net income. Gain on Sale of Land Components of Net Income that Do Not Increase or Decrease Cash
Components of Net Income that Do Increase or Decrease Cash For components of net income that increase or decrease cash, but by an amount different from that reported on the income statement, net income is adjusted for changes in the balances of related balance sheet accounts to convert the effects of those items to a cash basis. Note: Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in securities available for sale, dividends payable, and short-term payables to financial institutions are excluded from this category.
