Course Description
The statement of cash flows is the most difficult of the financial statements to prepare. This course makes the task easier by carefully defining each line item in the statement, noting the differing forms of allowable presentation, and illustrating how the statement can be assembled. The course also notes a multitude of special situations that may apply to one's specific circumstances. As an added bonus, The Statement of Cash Flows describes several key cash flow analyses, including how to interpret the statement.
