[edit] More criticism than neutrality?
This article as it is currently written appears to me to be more a criticism of GAAP and also how cash flow can be also be fudged. It does not have appear to be neutral in its commentary. NilssonDenver 18:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Please update the section "Benefits of using Cash Flow". You can address all the issues raised. There were none on the page I overwrote. Neither are there any on the pages similar to this topic. I don't understand why you think this anti GAAP. Cash flow and Net Income are both GAAP measures. In fact they are simple math derivations of each other.Retail Investor 17:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge from cash flow projection
Cash flow projection is an unreferenced stub but might make sense as a section here. --SueHay 14:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cash flow and cash projects are completely different areas of finance and should not be merged. For example we do not need to calculate the present value of current cash or historical cash flow - they are accounting measures - cash is after all king. Projected cash flows however are more difficult to manage and need a greater understanding of DCF, NPV, IRR etc. In and MBA course they are usually in different modules to reflect this.

- I think if the other article is a stub the stub should be merged with something. Nothing prevents future users (or us in future) separating them when appropriate to reflect content. This is not the kind of 'stand-alone' stub (bordering on a definition) that works on its own. I'd rather have one longer article that is well done rather than two incomplete ones. That said, the article on projecting cash flows might be merged with discounted cash flows instead of this one; those subjects may complement each other better than cash flow and projected cash flow. For what it's worth.--Gregalton 21:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think I might've found another good home for that stub -- cash flow forecasting. Someone's developing that article right now. What do you think? --SueHay 01:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Makes sense to me.--Gregalton 04:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How does one see a cash flow statement ?
Can anybody help ? Sanjiv swarup (talk) 08:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- You will find it in a company's annual report near the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement (or sometimes "Income Statement") and the Statement of Shareholders' Equity. Here is a link to an actual cash flow statement filed with the SEC:
