more in goods than it actually paid for. The increase is added
to net income to determine net cash provided by operating
activities.

expense reported on the income statement was less than the
amount of taxes paid during the period. The decrease is
subtracted from net income to determine net cash provided by
operating activities.

Accounting Across the Organization
Burning Through Our Cash
Box (cloud storage), Cyan (game creator), Fireeye (cyber security), and Mobile
Iron (mobile security of data) are a few of the tech companies that recently have
issued or are about to issue stock to the public. Investors now have to determine
whether these tech companies have viable products and high chances for success.
An important consideration in evaluating a tech company is determining its financial
flexibility—its ability to withstand adversity if an economic setback occurs. One way
to measure financial flexibility is to assess a company’s cash burn rate, which
determines how long its cash will hold out if the company is expending more cash
than it is receiving. Fireeye, for example, burned cash in excess of $50 million in
2013. But the company also had over $150 million as a cash cushion, so it would
take over 30 months before it runs out of cash. And even though Box has a much
lower cash burn rate than Fireeye, it still has over a year’s cushion. Compare that to
the tech companies in 2000, when over one-quarter of them were on track to run out
of cash within a year. And many did. Fortunately, the tech companies of today seem
to be better equipped to withstand an economic setback.

OBJECTIVE to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The change in cash is equal to the change in all of the other


balance sheet accounts.
If we analyze the changes in all of the noncash balance sheet
accounts, we will explain the change in the cash account.

OBJECTIVE of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS.

Relevant Facts
Similarities
 Companies preparing financial statements under IFRS must prepare
a statement of cash flows as an integral part of the financial
statements.
 Both IFRS and GAAP require that the statement of cash flows
should have three major sections—operating, investing, and
financing—along with changes in cash and cash equivalents.

17-75 LO 7
A Look at IFRS

Relevant Facts
 Similar to GAAP, the cash flow statement can be prepared using
either the indirect or direct method under IFRS. In both U.S. and
international settings, companies choose for the most part to use the
indirect method for reporting net cash flows from operating activities.
 The definition of cash equivalents used in IFRS is similar to that
used in GAAP. A major difference is that in certain situations, bank
overdrafts are considered part of cash and cash equivalents under
IFRS (which is not the case in GAAP). Under GAAP, bank
overdrafts are classified as financing activities in the statement of
cash flows and are reported as liabilities on the balance sheet.

17-76 LO 7
A Look at IFRS

Relevant Facts

Differences
 IFRS requires that noncash investing and financing activities be
excluded from the statement of cash flows. Instead, these noncash
activities should be reported elsewhere. This requirement is
interpreted to mean that noncash investing and financing activities
should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements instead
of in the financial statements. Under GAAP, companies may present
this information on the face of the statement of cash flows.

Relevant Facts
 One area where there can be substantial differences between IFRS
and GAAP relates to the classification of interest, dividends, and
taxes. The following table indicates the differences between the two
approaches.

17-78 LO 7
A Look at IFRS

Relevant Facts
 Under IFRS, some companies present the operating section in a
single line item, with a full reconciliation provided in the notes to the
financial statements. This presentation is not seen under GAAP.

Looking to the Future


Presently, the FASB and the IASB are involved in a joint project on the
presentation and organization of information in the financial statements.
One interesting approach, revealed in a published proposal from that
project, is that in the future the income statement and balance sheet would
adopt headings similar to those of the statement of cash flows. That is, the
income statement and balance sheet would be broken into operating,
investing, and financing sections.

operating, investing, and financing, much like the statement of
cash flows.
b) cash and cash equivalents will be combined in a single line
item.
c) the IASB will not allow companies to use the direct approach
to the statement of cash flows.
d) None of the above.
