[@valeriasantana7652]

You are amazing, congrats

[@lg4725]

I am lil bit confused about the operating activities part.. As everyone knows that if account payables increases that means the cash increases therefore at this point we add the increase account payalbes and it is the same way arround if a/p decreases, cash will be deducted too.. But what i noticed is that not all of the current liabilities decreased only account payable decreased whereas the rest of current liabilities increased ( tax payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue),, so why did you total all of them together??

[@lg4725]

Please answer me this so confusing

[@monamai8660]

Thank you for mapping out the time stamps!

[@sisaybook75]

How this is wonderful tasks Please do financial management course fo MBA students because teaching is your gift .

[@paulvukeles1927]

I have been a CPA in the US for the last 28 going on 29 years. I have taught accounting at both the university (undergraduate and graduate) and community collage level for the last 25 years. This is the most comprehensive and clearly stated lecture I have ever witnessed. I am almost embarrassed to say, better than any that I have myself presented in a class room. Well studying for the CPA exam, I wish I had this 29 years ago. It would definitely helped. Well done.

[@AccountingStuff]

Thanks, it means a lot!

[@craggerrs]

takes some fortitude to admit that so respect to you for that

[@ultraspeedy4911]

I feel this kind of highlights a big issue within our education system. There are endless videos put together so intuitively and masterfully just for simple KZbin videos that are 100000x easier to understand and digest than some instructor reading off boring slides in a monotone voice. This is nuts to me how unrefined academic education is

[@AdamAdam-vu3qt]

This was just a tacky way for paul to showboat his cpa in a coy way. no one is impressed. wake me up when you pass the mcats. yawn

[@isaactetteh4618]

You could not have been that candid. That was a splendid explanation. So,so practical.

[@devanfenwick9970]

crazy how im paying 20 grand a year for an education and instead watching your free videos online

[@teresaconners1143]

This tutorial is extremely helpful. I think now that I've found your channel, I should be able to learn what I need to help me pass my financial management class. Thank you so much for putting this information out there. On-line classes are hard to grasp, especially when there are no lectures. It's nice to be able to turn to You Tube for help with my classes. Thank you so much!

[@AccountingStuff]

Hey Teresa, no problem at all. Hope your studies are going well!

[@commentator245]

I am exactly on the same boat. Currently taking an online MBA with UMGC. Currently on Financial Decision Making (second class). Only three Zoom classes every semester and I have to pretty much figure everything out on my own. This channel has helped me tremendously.

I am an independent artist that is trying to learn and understand everything that will help me grow in this day and age with tons of tech, and free resources at our finger tips I know learning about money would be a key skill to know and understand, and I happen to come across your page, it was like a gift from god!! All the your videos were perfectly organized in your accounting playlist, and I was absolutely blown away, you teach accounting so well, I understood everything and your examples made it 10x easier!! The video quality never changed since the first video!! You absolutely know what you are doing when you make a video, the editing is great and the visuals always keeps me interested. Once I can scrape up any money, I'm gonna to try and buy your whole pack of cheat sheets, money is really tight but those are all absolute gems!! you are a gift that keeps on giving!!! I worked hard, having sleepless night just learning and studying your videos!! I will forever support you and hoping in the future you could be my accountant, jk, ha!!! cant wait for your new video full of gems!! Please Keep doing what your doing and thank you sooo much James!!! you've truly changed my life!!!

[@AccountingStuff]

Thanks for your kind words! There's no need to buy my cheat sheets, especially if money is tight. I'm happy if you're learning!

In case u're thinking about giving up, there's still people like me viewing and loving this, thank you!

[@johnb9005]

I am studying to become a bookkeeper and understanding cash flows statements is one of the most challenging topics for me. James did a great job in explaining of how to deal with a gain or a loss on the sale of office equipment, furniture.

[@bun3480]

i cannot begin to express my gratitude to this channel!!!!!! i have learned so much more from your videos than i have from my textbook. seriously, you are such a fantastic teacher and i appreciate all of the effort put into every video!! could not have learned accounting without you

[@pooloo1]

I learned a lot from this tutorial. It really saved me a lot of reading hours from our textbook. Thank you!

[@JesseLockeHere2Do]

I just bought your "All in one cheat sheet & practice question bundle." My man, you are heaven sent! Thank you!

[@AccountingStuff]

Thanks for your support! All the best :)

[@alanbailey2149]

This video is incredibly helpful. The statement of cash flows has always been my weak spot on exams. After reviewing this a few times it seems not so much a weak spot anymore. It is incredibly helpful how he is able to state things simply and grow them. I prefer this way of remembering things because when I go to take an exam as long as I can remember where to start, I can remember everything that follows.

[@AccountingStuff]

Great to hear it's making sense :)

[@AccountingStuff]

No worries! Hope your MBA is going well :)

[@HelloBreezyXO]

I stayed up for hours last night studying this from the book. This was so much better. I wish I saw this first.

[@IsThisRain]

The way you visually explained the SCF on 4:40 makes this so much easier to understand. I was over-complicating this topic for myself, just straight-up memorizing formulas without understanding why they're important lol

[@TiffanySngYongQi]

Thank you thank you! I wish my university can teach like you! Theory, explanation, and examples! Clear, organised, and even aesthetic! Pray I pass my Finance and Accounting modules!

The company that I work for uses the direct method. I do understand why you say its hard. It takes time to look for the required info, it all comes down to knowing where to retrieve it from the accounting system and balancing it to the bank. I really like how you explain things really cleary!! Always great to have a refresher 😊

[@aliasofiea]

Hi sir, my name is Alia Sofiea. thankyou so much for explanation. Through this video i understand that Statement of Cash Flows was a summary of a business's cash inflows & outflows over a period of time. There also 2 methods in preparing this statement which is direct method & indirect method. Next, for each method, there are 3 main sections of cash flow (a)CF from operating activities, (b)CF from investing activities and (c)CF from financing activities.
