Create Preliminary Cash Flow Statements

Use this screen to create the tables necessary to generate or edit a statement of cash flows.

You must set up the statement of cash flows in the Manage Financial Statements screen before you can run this process for it. After you run this process, you can use the Manage Preliminary Cash Flow Statement screen to change amounts, line descriptions, and sort order.

The statement of cash flows analyzes the sources and uses of cash from the beginning of the year through the accounting period you specify in this screen. It also provides additional information about the operating, investing, and financing activities of your company, on a cash basis and for a particular time period.

Because Costpoint derives the information on the statement of cash flows from posted transactions to balance sheet accounts, generate the statement of cash flows after you close the period and post all outstanding transactions so the statement contains the most accurate data. You should also perform bank reconciliations and all income statement and balance sheet reconciliations before you generate the statement of cash flows.
