The document discusses the fundamentals of a funds flow statement, including its meaning, objectives, importance, limitations, and preparation. A funds flow statement indicates changes in financial position between two balance sheet dates, showing sources and uses of funds. It aims to analyze changes in working capital and determine causes. While useful for management, shareholders, and financiers, it also has limitations like being historic and ignoring non-fund transactions. Preparing one requires the current and prior year's balance sheets and income statement.
