In MultiLedger, a Statement of Cash Flows shows the incoming and outgoing cash over the selected period. This is shown by starting with the net income (or loss) at the beginning of the period from the Income Statement, then showing each asset, liability, and equity account whose value has changed during the selected period. The result is net cash at the end of the period. Please Note: that this report shows only the net increase or decrease in each account, not the balance.
The Statement of Cash Flows report calculates the net cash at the end of the period by adding the following items:
● Net Income for the period
● Changes to accounts shown in the three report sections: Operating Activities, Investing Activities, and Financing Activities
● Cash at the beginning of the period.
For details about assigning accounts for the Cash Flow Statement, see “Setting Up Cash Flow Designations.”
