Commentary
The title of IAS 7 was amended from Cash Flow Statements to Statement of Cash
Flows in September 2007 as a consequence of the revision of IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements.
SESSION 30 IAS 7 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 3002
1 Scope
1.1 Applies to all entities
Users of financial statement are interested in cash generation regardless of the
nature of the entitys activities.
Entities need cash for essentially the same reasons:
to conduct operations;
to pay obligations;
to provide returns to investors.
Profit is not the same as cash . . . . and profitability does not mean liquidity
(even profitable companies crash).
1.2 Importance of cash flow
To show that profits are being realised
(e.g. that trade receivables are being recovered).
To pay dividends.
To finance further investment (which will generate more cash).
1.3 Benefits of cash flow information
Provides information that enables users to evaluate changes in:
net assets;
financial structure (including its liquidity and solvency);
ability to affect amounts and timing of cash flows (to adapt to
changing circumstances and opportunities).
Useful in assessing ability to generate cash and cash equivalents.
Users can develop models to assess and compare the present value of future
cash flows of different entities.
Enhances comparability of reporting operating performance by different
entities (by eliminating effects of alternative accounting treatments).
Historical cash flow information may provide an indicator of the amount,
timing and certainty of future cash flows.

Commentary
Focus on cash management can also improve results (e.g. with lower interest charges
and having cash resources available on a timely basis (e.g. for investment).
SESSION 30 IAS 7 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 3003
1.4 Definitions
Cash cash on hand and demand deposits.
Cash equivalents short-term, highly liquid investments:
readily convertible to known amounts of cash;
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value;
excluding equity investments unless they are, in substance, cash
equivalents (e.g. preferred shares acquired within a short period of
their maturity and a specified redemption date).

Commentary
Cash equivalents are treated as cash because if they were not, the liquidity of
entities which manage their cash effectively (e.g. employing overnight deposit
facilities, buying bonds etc) would not look as good as it actually was.
Illustration 1

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (extract)
Cash and cash equivalents

Bank and cash consist of cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents consist
of highly liquid available-for-sale investments purchased with remaining
maturities at the date of acquisition of three months or less.
Nokia in 2006


Cash flows inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents.
Operating activities principal revenue-producing activities and other
activities that are not investing or financing activities.
Investing activities acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other
investments not included in cash equivalents.
Financing activities result in changes in the size and composition of equity
capital and borrowings. Bank borrowings generally included.

Commentary
Where bank overdrafts are repayable on demand and form an integral part of
cash management (characteristically balance fluctuates from positive to
overdraft) they are included in cash and cash equivalents.

2 Presentation

Commentary
A statement of cash flows is essentially a list of cash in and cash out
reconciling opening and closing cash balances.
2.1 Classification
IAS 7 requires cash inflows and outflows to be analysed across three headings:
Operating Investing Financing
Key indicator of sufficiency of
cash flows to:
repay loans;
maintain operating
capability;
pay dividends;
make new investments.
without recourse to external
sources of finance
Separate disclosure is
important cash flows
represent extent to which
expenditures have been
made for resources
intended to generate
future income and cash
flows

Examples
Separate disclosure is
useful in predicting
claims on future cash
flows by providers of
capital



Examples
Useful in forecasting future
operating cash flows.
Payments to acquire/
receipts from sales of:
Cash proceeds from
issuing:
Primarily derived from principal
revenue-producing activities.
Generally result from
transactions and events so
included in profit or loss.
Examples
Cash receipts from:
sale of goods/rendering
services;
royalties, fees,
commissions.
Cash payments to:
suppliers for goods/services;
and on behalf of employees.
property, plant and
equipment,
intangibles;
equity or debt
instruments of other
entities and interests
in joint ventures.
Cash advances and loans
made to other parties and
repayments thereof.

short or long-term
borrowings.
Cash payments to
owners to acquire or
redeem own shares.
Cash repayments of
borrowings.

SESSION 30 IAS 7 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 3006

Commentary
Although the illustration above is a consolidated statement of cash flows,
only the single entity statement is examinable.
3 Reporting cash flows from operating activities
There are two ways permitted to present cash flows from ordinary activities:
Either
3.1 Direct method
Or
3.2 Indirect method
Discloses major classes of gross cash
receipts and gross cash payments.
Information obtained either From
accounting records; or
Adjusts net profit or loss for effects
of:
non-cash transactions (e.g.
depreciation);
By adjusting sales, cost of sales for:
changes during period in
inventories and operating
receivables and payables;
other non-cash items;
other items for which cash
effects are investing/financing
cash flows.
any deferrals or accruals of past
or future operating cash receipts
or payments;
items of income or expense
associated with investing or
financing cash flows.


Commentary
The direct method is ENCOURAGED as it provides information useful in
estimating future cash flows which is not available under indirect method.
3.3 Techniques
3.3.1 Direct method
Steps 1 Cash receipts from customers
Less cash paid to suppliers and employees
Cash generated from operations
Step 2 Payments for interest and income taxes
Net cash from operating activities

SESSION 30 IAS 7 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 3007
3.3.2 Indirect method
Step 1(a) Start with profit before tax.
Step 1(b) Adjust for non-cash items and investing and financing items
accounted for on the accruals basis.
Operating profit before working capital changes
Step 1(c) Making working capital changes.
Cash generated from operations (same as figure calculated
under direct method).
3.4 Which method?
IASB encourages, but not require, the use of the direct method.
3.4.1 Advantages of the direct method
Reporting the major classes of operating cash receipts and payments better
reveals an entitys ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay
debts, reinvest in operations, and make distributions to owners. Thus it better
fulfils information needs for decision-making purposes.

Commentary
In particular, being able to see cash paid is particularly important to many
users.
The format is simpler to understand.
3.4.2 Disadvantages of the direct method
Many entities do not collect information that would allow them to determine
the information necessary to prepare the direct method.
It effectively presents items of profit or loss on a cash rather than an accrual
basis. This may suggest, incorrectly, that net cash flow from operations is a
better measure of performance than profit per the statement of comprehensive
income.

Commentary
The direct method is also sometimes called the income statement method.
It requires supplemental disclosure of a reconciliation of net income and net
cash. (However, the incremental cost of providing the additional information
disclosed in the direct method is not significant.)
SESSION 30 IAS 7 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 3008
3.4.3 Advantages of the indirect method
It focuses on the difference between profit or loss and net cash flow from
operations.

Commentary
The indirect method is also sometimes called the reconciliation method.
It provides a useful link between cash flows, the statement of comprehensive
income, and the statement of financial position.

Commentary
The indirect method is much more widely used in practice.
4 Investing and financing activities
4.1 Separate reporting
Major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments arising from
investing and financing activities should be reported separately.
4.2 Investing activities
Purchase of property plant and equipment this must represent actual
amounts paid.
Proceeds from sales of tangible assets.

4.3 Financing activities
Again the approach is to reconcile movements between the statements of
financial position to identify the cash element.

Statement of financial position (extracts) $m $m
Share capital 150 100
Share premium 48 40

During the period the following transactions affected share capital
(1) The entity issued shares with a nominal value $10m (Share premium $2m) to
acquire an interest in a subsidiary
(2) The entity issued shares for cash. The expense of the issue was $1m. This
has been debited to the share premium account.
Required:

Calculate the cash raised from the share issue.

7 Additional disclosures
There are a number of extra disclosures which should be made in most cases
to support the statement of cash flow:
Analysis of cash and cash equivalents;
Major non cash transactions;
Cash and cash equivalents held by the group;
Reporting futures, options and swaps;
Voluntary disclosures.
7.1 Analysis of cash and cash equivalents
A note should be presented that reconciles amounts held as cash and cash
equivalents at the start and end of the period.
Illustration 3 Cash and cash equivalents


2007 2006 Change

Cash on hand 1,300 (1,300)
Bank overdraft (11,000) (11,000)
(11,000) (1,300) (12,300)


7.2 Major non cash transactions
Non cash transactions should be excluded from the statement of cash flows.
However some of these do have a major impact on investing and financing
activities and should be disclosed in a note.
Examples of such transactions could include:
the issue of shares in order to acquire assets;
the conversion of debt to equity;
the inception of significant lease arrangements.
In each case a brief description of the nature and purpose of the transaction
should be given.
7.3 Voluntary disclosures
The standard encourages the disclosure of other information which may be relevant
to users seeking to assess the financial health of a business. These are:
the amount of undrawn borrowings that are available and any
restrictions on their future use.

Commentary
Since there have been no disposals but accumulated depreciation is less than
in the previous year, it has been assumed that the revaluation has been
reflected through a write-back of $70m accumulated depreciation, leaving a
charge for the year of $2m.

Commentary
This retained earnings working is not required as part of the solution in this
case. However, some questions may require such a reconciliation of the
movement in retained earnings to find a missing figure, such as a transfer to
share capital in respect of a bonus issue of shares. It is therefore included as
a proof that all the movements in retained earnings balances have been
identified and dealt with.
