Cash flow determines the quality of a company's income; if net cash flow is less than net income, that could be a cause for concern. Cash flow statements are divided into three categories: operating cash flow, investing cash flow and financing cash flow.Operating cash flows are those related to a company's operations, that is, its day-to-day business.ree cash flow is defined as a company's operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. This is the money that can be used to pay dividends, buy back stock, pay off debt and expand the business.
What is a Cash Flow Statement? For your business, the cash flow statement may be the most important financial statement you prepare. It traces the flow of funds (or working capital) into and out of your business during an accounting period. For a small business, a cash flow statement should probably be prepared as frequently as possible. This means either monthly or quarterly. An annual statement is a must for any business. The cash flow statementâs primary purpose is to provide information regarding a companyâs cash receipts and cash payments.
