Question

State any two advantages of preparing cash flow statement.

Solution

Advantages of Preparing Cash Flow Statement

1. Short-term Financial Planning- This statement is very advantageous for short-term financial planning. It helps in assessing and forecasting the sources and utilisation of cash and cash equivalents during a particular period.
2. Reasons for Change in Cash Position- It is possible that sometimes a company may have surplus cash even in case of lower profits or deficiency of cash in spite of higher profits. In such a situation, Cash Flow Statement helps in analysing the reason for the such change in the balances of cash and cash equivalents.
