Question

While preparing Cash Flow Statement, the accountant of a financing company showed 'Dividend Received Rs 50,000 on investments' as an investing activity. Was he correct in doing so? Give reason.

Solution

The accountant was wrong in his approach of showing 'Interest received on Loan' under 'Financing Activity'. Interest received on loan by a financing company is cash inflow from operating activities. So it is to be categorised under 'Cash Flow from Operating Activities'.
