Cash from Operating Activities (CFO)
CFO is a key indicator as to whether the company’s normal operations have
generated sufficient cash flows to repay loans, maintain operating capability, make
new investments and provide distributions to the owners without having to rely on
external sources of financing
Negative CFO means that the operating activities are not producing enough cash to
cover the payments required by the process
The CFO section of a cash flow statement that uses the indirect method is especially
helpful in assessing the effects that changes in accruals and deferrals have on the
difference between accrual income and CFO
