Cash Flow Statement Fundamentals

Operating Activities (Indirect Method Adjustments)

The calculation starts with the Income Statement components:

  • Non-cash expenses (e.g., Depreciation) are typically positive adjustments.
  • Losses are generally positive adjustments (added back).
  • Gains are generally negative adjustments (subtracted).

Balance Sheet Adjustments (Working Capital Changes)

These adjustments relate to changes in current assets and liabilities:

  • Current Assets (e.g., Accounts Receivable, Inventory):
    • Increase in asset balance = Cash Outflow (–)
