by clicking the bell icon. Friends today we have a topic that's cashflow vs fund
[23]
flow we are going to understand the topic 8 differences with the help of the
[25]
infographics. At the very initial end you need to understand what is the cash flow
[29]
and the fund flow statement I mean many times you know people they really are
[34]
not able to come up with the difference between the two but probably they both
[39]
differ in many other directions and the horizons in which they fall. The cash
[43]
flow they both have their own format which they work. The cash flow and the
[47]
fund flow they're completely different statement
[50]
they have their own scopes and serves different purpose. Cash flow you know you
[54]
can say is one of the four important financial statements and every investor
[58]
should look at it's quite prevalent and useful when one wants to know about the
[63]
liquidity position of the company. On the other hand fund flow statement talks
[67]
about the financial position for company in a given period of time so it talks
[70]
about sources of funds, application of funds and so on and so forth so in this
[74]
tutorial we look at the comparative analysis between cash flow and the fund
[78]
flow so that we can get idea about the cash flow and fund flow statement
[81]
and how useful they are in in terms of the practical situation. We will try and
[84]
understand this with the help of the infographic so that we have really
[87]
much a better idea regarding this. Now what is the inherent meaning see cash
[92]
flow is based on a very narrow concept which is called cash it will stick to
[96]
the word cash because everything that will be involved will be in terms of
[99]
cash that's why it is called as cash flow statement. Fund flow is based on
[103]
wider concept like working capital so that is also one important part that has
[107]
been incorporated here but what exactly is the usefulness see the utility of the
[112]
cash flow statement is to find out the net cash flows that has you know cash
[116]
flow from the operations, investing, financing all three when combined with
[120]
all the positive negative figures you get the final answer the utility of the
[124]
fund flow is to understand the financial position of the company the financial
[128]
position of the company so that's the usefulness now what's the source cash
[132]
flow statement starts with the opening balance and after adjustment
[135]
comes out with the net cash inflows and outflows the opening balance and we add
[139]
all the operating or the investing financing and the final amount that we
[142]
receive as the net cash flow that is the outflow at the inflow that is the
[146]
outbound in the inbound cash flows. Fund flow statement computes the difference
[149]
between the sources of funds and application of funds. Now what is the
[153]
difference between the sources and the application sources means the funds
[156]
where they are coming from and you are applying that funds to for the other
[160]
purpose for which it is supposed to be expended now the working capital shown
[164]
it is shown in the operating activities of the cash flow statement where there
[168]
is a difference of the changes in the working capital are been adjusted in the
[171]
net income which is which comes into the indirect method of cash flow statement
[174]
but over here it is shown in the statement of changes in working capital
[178]
it is shown in the changes in the working capital now what are the type of
[182]
the accounting see it follows cash base the name itself suggests cash flow
[187]
statement so it's just a cash basis accounting and over here they follow the
[190]
accrual basis of accounting so even that type works cash basis and accrual basis
[196]
of accounting those are the two types now what effect or the impact does it
[200]
have so through cash flow analysis we get to know that the net cash flow we
[204]
get to analyze we get to know the net cash inflow or the flow and through fund
[208]
flow analysis we get to know the changes in the working capital so over here what
[213]
exactly is going to be the net cash flow that is inflow or maybe outflow or it's
[218]
going to be positive or negative but here the fund flow analysis we get to
[220]
know the changes in the working capital right from changes in inventory or
[225]
receivables or maybe creators and so on and so forth. Now is this is it a
[230]
financial statement this is yes this is no absolutely this is a very important
[234]
crucial part and it is also included in the annual report of the companies so
[239]
again this is really very important financial statement a very important
[242]
document you can see because it has relevance not only in terms of the
[246]
company but all the stakeholders and the investors will surely be looking at this
[250]
kind of financial statement which will have a relevance in terms to determine
[253]
what exactly the company is standing in terms of their cash positions and how
[257]
far liquid they are? What are the funds they are using for? so all that details
[262]
will absolutely make them more resilient and a rock solid towards the companies
[267]
future prospect and there's no such financial statement over here now what
[270]
are the terms just for the short-term analysis of the cash flow there's a
[273]
short-term analysis done in over here fund flow is done for the long-term so
[277]
why did note this has been covered up now what exactly it is used for so it is
[280]
used for the cash budgeting and over here it is used for the capital
[283]
budgeting what you can say that you know the cash flow is used for the cash
[286]
budgeting and it helps the fund flows for the capital budgeting because over
[290]
here you can determine exactly you can take the decision buy or sell of
[294]
machinery or maybe to expand your factory or not or maybe there are
[299]
different decision-making criteria that you can that fund flow statement can
[303]
help you that is basically the capital budgeting but if when you want to do the
[306]
cash budget or probably you want to want to forecast the cash for the near future
[310]
then probably this is the most useful thing you can never do. Cash flow
[314]
statement we are going to make some understand some of the important
[317]
differences cash flow statement is one of the four financial statement I'll
[322]
write CFS and ffs every investor basically you know should look at to
[327]
understand this kind of CFS the financial position of the company and on
[330]
the other hand if you see the FFS on the other hand isn't a financial statement
[334]
it does not second you know cash flow statement is prepared so that you know
[340]
at the end of the particular period the net cash flow of the company can be
[343]
computed fund flow statement is prepared to see the sources and the uses of the
[347]
fund for funds during a particular period and how that changes in the funds
[352]
that affects working capital of the company. Cash flow statement is created you know
[355]
by following you know cash basis accounting and fund flow statement on
[360]
the other hand is created by following the accrual basis of accounting fourth
[365]
cash flow statement is used for cash budgeting while you know fund flow
[372]
statement is used for cap budgeting. Cash flow statement over here is prepared to
[379]
see the short term impacts or short term effect of the cash flow and the fund
[385]
flow statement is prepared for the long term purpose based on this let me make
[391]
my final conclusion on this particular topic after discussing all the
[395]
differences the important key differences and some of the analysis
[399]
that I put forward if we compare if we compare between the cash flow and
[403]
the fund flow. The cash flow is more prevalent among the investors and more
[408]
used but if we look at separately we will see both of them they serve a
[414]
meaning purpose cash flow serves a company and its investors and potential
[420]
investor by showing exactly how much cash is getting injected into the
[426]
company and how much cash has been paid. On the other hand the fund flow
[429]
statement helps a company to set up capital budget and take necessary steps
[434]
regarding this specific item which can affect the sources and uses of the funds
[440]
