PURPOSE OF THE STATEMENT
OF CASH FLOWS
How does a
company obtain its
cash?
Where does a
company spend its
cash?
What explains the
change in the cash
balance?

business fund its
operations?
Does the business
have sufficient cash
to pay its debts as
they mature?
Did the business
make any dividend
payments?
Did the business
borrow any funds or
repay any loans?

GLOBAL VIEW
Reporting Cash Flows from Operating
Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS permit the reporting of cash flows from operating
activities using either the direct or indirect method. However, two notable
differences include:
1. U.S. GAAP requires cash inflows from interest revenue and dividend revenue be
classified as operating, whereas IFRS permits classification under operating or
investing provided that this classification is consistently applied across
periods.
2. U.S. GAAP requires cash outflows for interest expense be classified as
operating, whereas IFRS again permits classification under operating or
financing provided that it is consistently applied across periods.
Reporting Cash Flows from Investing and Financing
U.S. GAAP and IFRS are broadly similar in computing and classifying cash flows
from investing and financing activities. One notable exception is that U.S. GAAP
requires cash outflows for income tax be classified as operating, whereas IFRS
permits the splitting of those cash flows among operating, investing, and
financing depending on the sources of that tax.
