Cash is the lifeblood of any business—and tracking its movement is critical to maintaining operational stability.

This report gives you real-time insight into how your cash is generated and spent across operating, investing, and financing activities—a must-have for financial management and risk control.
What is a Cash Flow Report?
A Cash Flow Report summarizes all transactions that affect the company’s cash position. It categorizes transactions into:
- Operating Activities – Cash from daily business operations, such as collections from customers, payments to suppliers/employees, interest paid/received, and changes in net working capital items.
- Investing Activities – Cash used for purchasing assets, investments, or business acquisitions.
- Financing Activities – Cash from issuing shares, receiving loans, repayments, or dividend payments.
Formula:
Statement of Cash Flows = Operating + Investing + Financing + Cash Equivalents Movement
Two Presentation Methods:
- Indirect Method (default) – Adjusts net income by non-cash transactions.
- Direct Method (optional) – Lists cash receipts and payments directly.
By showing net cash movement, the report helps evaluate whether your organization can cover expenses, repay obligations, and fund future growth.
