Document Summary

Cash flow includes not only cash in hand but also deposits and overdrafts, repayable on demand with any bank or other financial institutions. The preparation of a cash flow statement is not a legal requirement. Virtually all transactions are conducted ultimately by cash or near cash (for example, bank accounts and credit cards). Sales of goods or services or, any other business assets, whether they are settled immediately or settled at some future date, are settled by cash or cash equivalents. Cash is an asset like any other asset, for example, fixed asset machinery, or current asset debtors.
