Statement of Cash Flows Accounting Brief Exercise
“Statement of Cash Flows”
According to the text, when considering an investment opportunity, some investors believe the organization’s statement of cash flows is the most important factor in evaluating the health of the organization. Others argue that the investors should not use statements of cash flows because they do not show true profitability. For example, depreciation is only considered on the income statement, not on the statement of cash flows. Take a position on whether or not you agree with investor use of statements of cash flows, and provide support for your position.
