 What Is A Cash Flow Statement?
The cash flow statement is distinct from the income statement and balance sheet because it does not include the amount of future incoming and outgoing cash that has been recorded on credit.
Cash flow is calculated by making certain adjustments to net income by adding or subtracting differences in revenue, expenses and credit transactions (appearing on the balance sheet and income statement) resulting from transactions that occur from one period to the next.
As for the balance sheet, the net cash flow in the CFS from one year to the next should equal the increase or decrease of cash between the two consecutive balance sheets that apply to the period that the cash flow statement covers.

 Examining Preferences in Cash Flow Statement Format
Both the direct and indirect methods (illustrated in Exhibit 1) require cash flows to be classified according to operating, investing, and financing activities.
More important, the direct method effectively presents income statement information on a cash rather than an accrual basis and may erroneously suggest that net cash flow from operations is as good as, or better than, net income as a measure of performance (Mahoney, Sever and Theis, 1988).
The consistency issue is easily addressed by recasting previous years’ cash flow statements using the current method, as is now done on the income and financial position statements with changes in accounting principles.
