Gulfam
OBJECTIVES
 To Classify historic cash flow during a period into
Operating, Investing and Financing activities
 To provide Basis to assess ability to generate Cash
 To Assess needs to utilize cash
 To Assess timing and certainty of generation of cash
 To find relationship between profit and cash flow
Scope
 IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows requires an
entity to present a statement of cash flows as an
integral part of its primary financial statements
DEFINITIONS (Basic terms)
Cash:
Includes cash on hand and demand deposits
Cash Equivalents:
Short term liquid investments readily convertible into cash
and includes:
3 months or less to mature
Short term preference shares with definite redemption date
Fluctuating bank overdraft
Cash Flows:
Inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents
What comprises cash and cash
equivalents?
Operating Activities
These are the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity and other
activities that are not investing or financing activities.
 However, operating activities generally result from profit making
activities and the examples are:
 Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services;
 Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue;
 Cash payments to suppliers for goods and services;
 Cash payments to and on behalf of employees;
 Cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance entity for premiums
and claims, annuities and other policy benefits;
 Cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can be
specifically identified with financing and investing activities; and
 cash receipts and payments from contracts held for dealing or trading
purposes.
Investing Activities
These are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments
not included in cash equivalents.
 Examples of cash flows classified in investing activities are:
 Cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and
other long-term assets (including capitalized development costs and self-
constructed PPE);
 Cash receipts from sales of PPE, intangibles and other long-term assets;
 Cash payments to acquire and cash receipts from sales of equity or debt
instruments of other entities and interests in joint ventures (but not for
trading or dealing purposes);
 Cash advances and loans made to other parties, and cash receipts from their
repayment (other than advances and loans made by a financial institution –
these would go to operating part);
 Cash payments for and cash receipts from various derivative contracts except
when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the payments
are classified as financing activities.
Financing Activities
These are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the
contributed equity and borrowings of the entity.
 Examples of cash flows arising from financing activities are:
 Cash proceeds from issuing shares or other equity instruments;
 Cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the entity’s shares;
 Cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages and
other short-term or long-term borrowings;
 Cash repayments of amounts borrowed; and
 Cash payments by a lessee for the reduction of the outstanding liability
relating to a finance lease.
Methods of Statement of Cash Flow
There are two methods:
 Direct method: here, you need to disclose major classes of gross cash
receipts and gross cash payments.
 Indirect method: here, you start with the profit or loss before tax and then
you adjust it for the effect of : Working capital changes over the period
(inventories, operating receivables, payables);
 Non-cash items (depreciation, unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses,
etc.);
 Items associated with investing or financing activities.
Note:
Direct method provides more understandable information not disclosed under
indirect method. However, in reality, indirect method is far more preferred
because it’s easier to get the information based on your accounting records
(in most cases).
Methods of Statement of Cash Flow
How the statement of Cash Flows shall
be presented?
IAS 7 says that the statement of cash flows shall
report cash flows during the period classified by:
 Operating
 Investing
 and Financing activities.
How the statement of cash flows shall be
presented?
Diagram to show classification as follow:
Reporting cash flows from investing and
financing activities
 Cash flows from investing and financing activities
shall always be reported GROSS, so no netting
off.
 It means that you cannot present the cash paid to
acquire some vehicle and cash received from sale
of some other vehicle in 1 line – instead, you must
present these cash flows separately in 2 lines.
Reporting cash flows from investing and
financing activities: Conti…
 However, IAS 7 gives you 2 exceptions where you actually can
present net:
 Cash receipts and payments on behalf of customers when the cash
flows reflect the activities of the customer rather than those of the
entity. E.g, some real estate company can collect rents from
tenants and pay them over to the property owners.
 Cash receipts and payments for items in which the turnover is
quick, the amounts are large, and the maturities are short. For
example, changes in principal amounts relating to credit card
customers.
 Also, financial institutions can report certain transactions on the
net basis.
Other issues:
Foreign currency
 When there are foreign currency cash flows, then
you need to translate them to your functional
currency by applying the exchange rate at the date
of the cash flow.
 However, be careful at the closing,
because unrealized year-end foreign exchange
gains or losses are NOT cash flows. If they relate
to your cash or cash equivalents, then you should
present these amounts in the separate line in the
final reconciliation.
Other Issue:
Interest and dividends
 Cash flows from interest and dividends received and
paid shall be presented separately and
consistently from period to period.
 In fact, you have a choice here for each of these items:
 Interest and dividends paid can be classified either as
operating cash flow, or financing cash flow.
 Interest and dividends received can be classified either
as operating cash flow, or investing cash flow.
 Either way you choose, it’s OK, but do it consistently in
each reporting period.
Other Issue:
Taxes on Income
 Basically, cash flows arising from income taxes
are classified as cash flows from operating
activities.
 But if you can specifically identify these taxes
with financing or investing activities, then you
should report your cash flows from taxes in
these parts.
Other Issue:
Investments
 When you hold some investments in
subsidiaries, associates and joint venture, then
reporting cash flows to and from these
investments really depends on the accounting
method you use.
 When you apply equity or cost method, then
you should include only the cash flows
between yourself and the investee into the cash
flow statement (dividends or advances).
