Cash Flow StatementIAS 7 • Fundamental Principle in IAS 7 • All enterprises that prepare financial statements in conformity with IFRSs are required to present a statement of cash flows. • Objective of IAS 7 • to require the presentation of information about the historical changes in cash and cash equivalents of an enterprise by means of a statement of cash flows, which classifies cash flows during the period according to operating, investing, and financing activities. • What are cash and cash equivalents ?
Cash & Cash Equivalents • cash on hand • demand deposits • short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash, and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. • Guidance notes indicate that an investment normally meets the definition of a cash equivalent when it has: • a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. • overdrawn bank balances where these readily fluctuate from positive to negative
Presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows • Cash flows must be analysed between • Operating, • Investing • Financing Activities.
Operating activities • Are the main revenue-producing activities of the enterprise that are not investing or financing activities, • So operating cash flows include cash received from customers and cash paid to suppliers and employees
Investing activities • Are the • acquisition and • disposal • of long-term assets and other investments that are not considered to be cash equivalents
Financing activities • Are activities that alter the equity capital and borrowing structure of the enterprise
Note: • Interest and Dividends received and paid • may be classified as operating, investing, or financing cash flows, provided that they are classified consistently from period to period • Taxation Cash Flows • Cash flows arising from taxes on income are normally classified as operating, unless they can be specifically identified with financing or investing activities • Extraordinary Items • Should be classified as operating, investing or financing as appropriate and should be separately disclosed
Summary so far…. • A Cash Flow Statement is: • a statement of the cash that flowed into and out of the business over the last year. • To aid understanding it is normally presented under 3 headings: • Net Cashflow (in – out) from Operating Activities • (i.e. from your core trading activity – clearly this should produce a positive cash inflow) • Net Cashflow from Investing Activities • (e.g. buying/selling Non Current Assets. Growing companies will therefore have a negative cashflow). • Net Cashflow from Financing • (e.g. cash received/repaid re share issues and debt – as a result it may well be negative) • The addition of these 3 will then balance to the Increase/Decrease in the Bank/Cash balances over the year
