Taking Your Financial Reports to the Next Level with Management Reporter – Statement of Cash Flows (6 of 8)

The sixth report in the “Taking your Financial Reports to the Next Level with Management Reporter” series is the “Statement of Cash Flows.” There are often multiple financial or strategic opportunities available to a company, but not a lot of cash for those opportunities.  The need for sufficient cash to cover operating expenses needs to be balanced against opportunities to pay off debt or to make operating investments. The Statement of Cash Flows report helps in evaluating past operations and in planning future investing and financing activities.
