The Cash Flow Statement shows changes in cash and cash equivalents due to inflows and outflows during the reporting period. The statement shows cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities and the resulting changes in cash and cash equivalents. Due to currency translation effects, changes presented in it relating to items in the Statement of Financial Position cannot be inferred directly from the Statement of Financial Position. The starting point for computing cash flow from operating activities is net income after tax. Under the indirect method of reporting cash flow from operating activities, non-cash income items are eliminated and cash operating transactions that do not affect profit or loss are added in. Cash flow from investing activities consists of payments for investments and receipts from divestments. Cash flow from financing activities shows cash changes in equity and debt capital from borrowing. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks with a residual maturity of up to three months.
