The cash flow statement provides aggregate data regarding all cash inflows and outflows of a company. The cash flow is determined by looking at three components by which cash enters and leaves a company: core operations, investing and financing. It allows investors to understand how a company’s operations are running, where its money is coming from, and how it is being spent. 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. Therefore, cash is not the same as net income.
