[@404TRUCKERTV]

man I don't know why accounting professors can't just teach this easy. cash flow statement always have me confused until now. Is it good or bad for cash? that makes so much sense lol.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thinking of putting that on a tshirt. Thanks!

[@Remueru3]

[@ltran6535]

Congrats!

[@khanhlinhang9456]

You have just saved my life and my exam. Thank youuuuu

[@missy567ful]

I used to wreck my brain on the logic behind why we're adding or subtracting non cash items from net income, but you cleared that up. When ypu read verbiage in a book, you want to understand everything, but everyone's explanation could use some fine tuning to see the bigger picture of things and you truly are breaking things down for me. Thank you so much!

[@TheFinancialController]

happy it makes sense!

[@mariafernandasanchez6459]

Very helpful. The statement of cash flow was one of the most difficult to analyse for me and you explain it clearly, concise, making it easier to understand. Thank you so much.

[@TheFinancialController]

Glad it was helpful Maria!

[@themanfromoregon6047]

I've been rewatching this regularly. In my associates program, we only focused on Income Statement, Statement of OE and Balance sheet, so this is the next big step we flow into during the Bachelors program. This is a super helpful video, and as a tutor, this is the kind of explanation I want to fully understand when I eventually help other students reach their goals.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@HappyEmileHeskey]

Thanks for explaining, I always used AIR (Assets Increase, Remove) but this actually helps with the underlying understanding. Many thanks!

[@ditabahari5295]

The clear explanation plus the use of excel really help us to follow the logic behind it, thanks a lot!

Wow! Great accountant

[@mintp889]

THANK YOU!

[@rachelcoleman4824]

Wonderful!

[@accounting_for_everyone]

Hi my brother, there is a mistake in your calculations. You should add 825,000 to the investment cash. Regarding the cash paid for investment, I must say that the balance at the end of the period with the deduction of depreciation is 3500000 and to get the correct amount of cash paid for investment, we must add depreciation (825000) and then calculate the investment cash. The final result is consistent. It is because the amount of 825,000 is hidden in the shareholders' equity, the shareholders' equity in this balance is 4375,000, not 5200,000. 4050000 plus net profit is 4375000 not 520000. That is why the cash statement is balanced. Thank you for your good teaching

[@Noah-uu3br]

I was looking for this comment the whole time. Why did none recognized this?

[@accounting_for_everyone]

@@Noah-uu3br ❤️❤️

[@investorslifepk]

Appreciate it, valuable

[@tshegomotaung5249]

this was a fun lesson

[@asj2749]

Good video, thank you. How come for when making a profit for selling equipment in the operating section in the cash flow statement it shows it as a negative value. Can anyone explain this?

[@Wale_mo]

Good job 👍

[@godisgoodgood62]

Thank you for your explanation! One question I want to ask you is; I have two job offers, one is from a Big four another one is a small accounting firm. The pay is almost the same so I'm kind of confused which one to choose for someone who is coming out of college? Thank you once again!

[@TheFinancialController]

Big 4.

[@TheJaebeomPark]

I like your explanation. is that right when calculating cash inflow from investing activities depreciation should be considered as well?

[@kelexqiang5]

Very useful. Thks

[@nurmohammed504]

Thank very much

[@aboobacker4]

Dear sir, thank you for the video, you had not mentioned about what is the impact of accrued interest and earned interest, could you please give a reply

[@sbid1]

quick question: is shareholders equity going up not included in the financing cash flow?

[@thecrazymonks01]

Awesome..thanx a lot.

[@angelopitruzzella3985]

Great video!

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks!

[@muhammadameen139]

Can you explain, why the increase in liability is good? Why its shown shown positive?

[@thierryyapi6199]

An increase in liability is good and shown as positive because the company got a short term loan from his vendor and didn't have to the make any disbursement for the increase in AP.

[@mariosxenos3795]

Hi there, regarding the equipment purchase difference, don't we count the year end additions before deprecation, i.e. Equipment 20X1 + Depreciation 20X1 - Equipment 20X0? Thank you!

[@christiancartagena93]

Just a question on my mind as i am finishing up my business admin associates, I was wondering why someone would do masters in accounting or bachelors in accounting if you can do business admin concentrate in accountant and be more well rounded kind of the best of both worlds. MBA Accounting can qualify you to get a CPA certificate so why just get a masters in accounting ?????

[@aarkamudug4478]

This was really helpful. But, how do you know which item goes to which category. I know the. Items that go into Operating activities such as a/r and a/p, is there any pattern to follow when doing investing and financing. Activities? For example, if you are given a long list of items, how do you differentiate. Do we have to memorize?

[@mjsmcd]

Where did u get depreciation number of 825?

[@temilolaabiola3750]

Hello, I have a question 🙋‍♀️ Why are interest and tax sometimes under operating activities?

[@oiinahgiiusadurrybrahchuck7209]

On the point of increase in AR… what if you have really good days outstanding ratio and the AR increase is inline with growth expectations? ie you would expect a business with growing operations to increase credit sales accounts each period. Wouldn’t it be a “negative” to have a decreased AR?

[@JuanitaNahiTukumeTagua]

thank you so much

[@TheFinancialController]

You're welcome!

[@the_happy_guy3853]

Hello Sir...Nice explanation! Just one small doubt How do we adjust for bad debt expense and allowance of doubtful accounts in the indirect method?

[@reginalibinga9647]
