difference between operating statement and cash flow
Loading the player... A: The cash flow statement, or statement of cash flows, measures the sources of a company's cash and its uses of cash over a specific time period. The income statement, or statement of financial performance, measures a company's financial performance, such as revenues, expenses, profits or losses over a specific time period. A cash flow statement shows exactly how much money a company has received and how much it has spent, traditionally over a period of one month.
Cash flow means the money that flows in and out of a company for its various activities. When looking at the financial statement of a company, cash flow statements, net income statements and balance sheet statements are considered to be very important.
