Explanations:

A statement of cashflow is one of the Financial statements statutorily required of a Business. It highlights the uses of Cash and Cash generating activities within a financial year. It helps assess a business from a cash point of view, and gives a discerning investor a better risk assessment of the reported profitability of the Business

It is assessed on 3 main pedestals:

1.Operating Activities. This typically reflects the cash related activities in our operations by identifying entries in both income statement and the Current sides of the balance sheet

2. The investing Activities : cash related activities in investment & disposal of Capital Assets and also cash involved in purchasing & selling off of Securities (otherwise called investments)

3. Financing Activities: cash related activities in changing the equity position of the business. E.g selling of shares, repurchase of shares, payment of dividends

The aggregation of cash changes in all 3 levels is what makes up the statement of cashflow.

The direct method of cashflow statement is one of the 2 prescribed methods; the other is the Indirect method.

The direct method identifies the specific activities responsible for cash movement in a year and presents it to Users of financial statements to review, while the indirect is always derived and thus doesn't speak to the specificity of these activities responsible for changes in cash balances.

Most business use the indirect method because of it's simplicity.
