You will learn how to prepare the operating, investing, and financing sections of the cash flow statement under both the direct and indirect methods. The course covers working capital adjustments, non-cash add-backs, and the reconciliation procedures required to verify statement accuracy. You will also calculate key cash flow ratios, assess earnings quality, and build forward-looking cash projections using scenario analysis. Advanced topics include consolidated statements, lease and debt restructuring impacts, and cash flow applications in mergers and acquisitions. By the end, you will be able to interpret cash flow patterns, detect manipulation, and present findings clearly to finance and non-finance audiences.
