Cash Flow Statement

What is a Cash Flow Statement?

A cash flow statement records all cash inflows and outflows within a specific period, broken into operational, investing, and financing activities.

Explanation

The cash flow statement highlights:

Actual cash on hand
Funding sources and uses
Ability to cover operational costs

It complements the P&L and balance sheet for full financial visibility.

Practical Example of a Cash Flow Statement

A company shows £25,000 from operations, spends £5,000 on new equipment, and receives £10,000 from a loan, resulting in a net cash flow of £30,000.
