I need to create a cash flow statement for 4 quarters. It is a new business and my professor provided me with very little information. I basically have to create a cash flow statement from scratch with made up information.
To create a cash flow with information one needs to do the following -
A.cash flows are generally consisting of three kind of activities which would be possibly investing activities and financing activities along with operating activities.
B. One needs to find each of the the informations separately and allocate it within the specified heads.
C. Then one needs to find out the the overall summed up figure in order to find out the overall cash flow from the business
D.one also needs to keep in mind that depreciation is not part of the cash flows because it's not operating activities.
E.one needs to re adjust the taxation also in order to find out the adequate cash flows and one also needs to adjust any changes in the working capital.
so it will always be specified according to information available and they should be allocated in different heads in order to arrive at net cash flows from business
