B. Review your SEC 10-K company’s statement of cash flows.
There are three main sections to the statement of cash flows: Cash flows from Operating Activities, Cash flows from Investing Activities, and Cash Flows from Financing Activities.
The balance sheet and income statement provide important information to prepare the cash flow statement. The relationship between these two financial reports with the statement of cash flows may be summarized as follows:
1. Net income is a measure of operating activities, but the income statement reports net income based on financial accounting, not cash flows. Thus, net income is adjusted from a financial accounting measure back to a cash flow by adding back expenses that do not affect Cash , subtracting non-cash gains on the sale of assets, adding back non-cash losses from sales of assets, and adjusting for changes in current assets and current liabilities .
2. Cash flows from the sale and purchase of long-term assets are reported in the investing activities section.
3. Cash flows from changes in long-term liabilities and owners’ equity are reported in the financing activities section.
