The document discusses funds flow statements and their preparation. It provides definitions of key terms like working capital and flow of funds. It explains that a funds flow statement depicts changes in working capital between two balance sheet dates by analyzing changes in current assets and current liabilities. The summary also shows how to prepare schedules of changes in working capital and sources and uses of funds statements to analyze the flow of funds.

1. CHAPTER – IV
FUNDS FLOW SATEMENT

2.  Flow of Fund means the inward and outward
movement of a fund of an enterprise.
 For the purpose, Fund refers to Working
Capital and flow means movement or
changes.
 Therefore, Flow of Fund means movement of
or changes in the Working Capital (i.e.,
current) items.

3.  Flow of Fund is identified by the means of inward or outward
movement of Current Assets and Current Liabilities.
 When Current Assets increase or Current Liabilities
decrease—Inflows of Fund.
Working
Capital

4.  The Funds flow statement contain all the details of
the financial resources which have became
available during an accounting period.
 This statement discloses the amounts raised from
various sources of finance during a period.
 It explains that how finance has been used in the
business.
 It is a very useful tool in analysis of financial
statements which analyses the changes taking
place between two balance sheet dates.

5.  Fund Flow Statement acts as an important tool for
financial analysis and shows the brief reasons for change
in the Working Capital between two Balance Sheet
dates.
 Fund Flow Statement explains how the financial
position has changed from the beginning of an
accounting period to the end of that period.
 It acts as an important instrument for allocation of
resources of a concern.
 It can be used in planning a sound dividend policy.
 It is useful in forecasting the flow of funds and in
projecting the working capital requirements.

6. Fund Flow Statement is not a basic Financial Statement, but is a
supplementary statement. It does not disclose any new fact which is not
reflected in the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet.
It provides a partial financial information to the management.
It cannot present the continuous changes in the financial position.
It does not indicate the structural change of an asset or a liability.
It is prepared on the basis of historical data.
It exhibits the changes in the Fund position, but does not indicate the
changes in the cash position, which is most important for every business
concern.

7. The changes which occurred in the current
accounts as a result flow of fund are reflected in
a statement known as ‘schedule of changes in
working capital’ .
The similar changes in non current accounts are
shown in ‘Fund Flow Statement’.
Therefore, following two statements under this
techniques .
1. Statement or Schedule of Changes in
Working Capital.
2. Statement of Sources and Uses of Funds or
Funds Flow Statement.

8. A funds flow statement depicts change in working capital.
It will, therefore, be better for the
students to prepare first a
Schedule of Changes in Working
Capital before preparing a funds
flow statement.
The primary purpose of the statement is to explain the net
change in Working Capital, as arrived in Funds Flow Statement.
It can be prepared by comparing the
current assets and the current
liabilities of two periods.

10. A decrease in current liabilities, increases working capital
An increase in current liabilities, decreases working capital
A decrease in current assets, decreases working capital
An increase in current assets, increases working capital

11.  In order to prepare a Funds Flow Statement, it is
necessary to find out the “sources” and “applications” of
funds.
 While preparing a funds flow statement, current assets
and current liabilities are to be ignored.
 Consider the changes in Fixed Assets and Fixed
Liabilities.

Net Change in Working Capital 164,000

17.  There is a decrease in working capital to the extent of
164,000.
 The net change can also be obtained from the working
capital figures relating to the two balance sheet dates.
Change in Working Capital =
 Working Capital as on 31/03/07 - Working Capital as on
31/03/06
= 1,246,000 – 1,400,000
= - 164,000
 Negative value indicates a decrease in working capital.

18.  When there is no additional data apart from the
balance sheets and we are sure that there are no
other transactions that have affected the non-
current accounts.
 Therefore, we may derive the inflow/outflow by
comparing the opening and closing figures.
