FUND FLOW STATEMENT
MEANING:
The Fund flow statement is a report on the movement
of funds or working capital. It explains how working capital
raised and used during an accounting period.
DEFINITION:
“A statement of sources and application of funds is a
technical device designed to analyze the changes in the
financial conditions of a business enterprise between two
dates.” – Foulke.
The term fund has a variety of meaning such as cash fund, capital fund
and working capital fund.
Cash fund- in a narrow sense fund means only cash. Cash flow
statement portrays net effect of the various business transactions on cash into
account receipts and disbursement of cash.
This concept of preparing fund flow statement is not accepted as there
are many such transactions which do not affect cash but represent the flow of
fund. For example: purchase of furniture on credit does not affect cast but there
is flow of fund.
Capital fund- here fund means all financial resources used in the
business, whether in the form of men, money, material, machine and others.
Net working capital- net working capital means difference between
current assets and current liabilities. Funds generally refers to cash or cash
equivalent or to working capital.
MEANING OF FUND
The term ‘flow’ refers to changes or transfer and therefore the ‘flow of
funds’ means transfer of economic values from one asset to another, from one
liability to another, from one asset to another, from one liability to another, from
one asset to liabilities or vice-versa or a combination of these. So flow of fund
refers to increase or decrease in net working capital.
The increase or decrease in net working capital will take place only when
one account, out of two accounts to be affected in a transaction, is a current
account i.e current asset or current liabilities and the other account is no current
account ie fixed asset
or long term liability or capital.
When a change in non current account is followed by a change in
another non current account, it does not amount to flow of fund. It is because, in
such case neither the working capital increase nor decrease
MEANING OF FLOW
When a change in non current account is followed by
a change in another non current account, it does not amount
to flow of fund. It is because, in such case neither the working
capital increase nor decrease.
For example
Machinery a/c Dr
To share capital a/c
(machinery purchase in consideration of share)
In the above transaction both accounts are non current
account which do not at all affect current asses and current liability.
Therefore working capital will remain unaffected i.e there will be no
flow of fund.
When changes in one current account results in a changes in other
current account, it also does not affect working capital there is not flow of
funds.
For example
Cash a/c Dr.
To debtor a/c
(cash received from debtor)
It represents an increase of cash a current asset account and
decrease of debtor again a current asset account. Thus there will be no
net changes in the amount of working capital, although the composition of
working capital will be affected.

The balance sheet and income statements are the traditional basic
financial statement of a business enterprise. A serious limitation of these
statements is that they do not provide information regarding changes in the
firm’s financial position during a particular period of time. They fail to answer
following question
What funds were available during the accounting period and for what
purpose these funds were utilized?
Have long term sources been adequate to finance fixed asset purchase?
Does the firm possess adequate working capital?
How much funds have been generated from operations?
Why did the firm not pay dividend in spite of adequate profit?
The balance sheet is merely a static statement. It is statement of
asset and liabilities of the business as on particular date.
WHY WE PREPARE FUND FLOW STATEMENT?
To show how the resources have been obtained and used
To indicated the results of current financial management.
To through light upon the most important changes that have
taken place during a specific period.
To show how the general expansion of the business has been financed.
To indicated the relationship between profits from operations,
distribution of dividend and raising of new capital or term loans.
To have an assessment of the working capital position of the concern.
OBJECTIVES OF FUND FLOW STATEMENT:
Analysis of Financial Operations
Evaluation of the Firm’s Financing
Answer to Intricate Question
Allocation of Scare Resources
Helps in Working Capital Management
Acts as a Guide to Future
Helps Financial Institutions.
MANAGERIAL USES OF FUNDS FLOW STATEMENT:
It provides only some additional information regarding
changes in working capital.
Changes in cash are more important and relevant for financial
management than the working capital.
It is not an original Statement. It is only a rearrangement of data
five in financial Statement.
Fund flow statement is essentially historic in nature. A Projected
funds flow statement, on the basis of it cannot be prepared with
much accuracy.
It cannot reveal continuous changes.
