o creditors as interest on borrowed money Indirect method SCF reconciles ine with cash flow from operation Δcash = Δcurrent L+ Δnoncurrent L+ ΔE Δ current A (other than cash) Δnoncurrent A Δcash = [Δcurrent L Δ current A (other than cash) ]+ [Δnoncurrent L+ ΔE] –[Δnoncurrent A] Op. Fin. Inv. Indirect method SCF reconciles ine with cash flow from operation Net Ine is accrualbased, when we calculate ine, we do not care whether cash has been received or paid But current assets and current liabilities accounts are impacted when we calculate ine, ., we debit account receivable and credit revenue when finishing a sales activity Indirect method SCF reconciles ine with cash flow from operation So in the example above, ine is higher than cash flow from operation because this transaction increases ine by increasing revenues, but does not increase cash because we debit account receivable and no cash is collected yet.
