Reading and Understanding Cash Flow Analysis

Understanding and managing the cash flow in your business is critical to your success.

A balance sheet is often described as a 'snapshot' of your financial situation at a single point in time. (Think of it as the balance in your personal checking account.) An income statement summarizes revenue, expenses and net income for the entire year or other period of time. Both of these financial statements are important tools to measure the success of your business, but do little to tell you where the cash actually went. Learn more about how cash truly moves through your business, how to prepare a cash flow budget and identify ways to put your working capital to work and increase shareholder value.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to identify the various methods of preparing a Cash Flow Statement.
  • You will be able to recognize best practices when managing cash.
  • You will be able to differentiate between the three major Cash Flow Statement classifications.
  • You will be able to identify which transactions impact which classification of the Cash Flow Statement.
