conclusions
In this report, we have concluded that cash flow statements are a very effective tool.
since it is an accounting document that reports on the evolution or status of cash generated by the
company through its operations whether ordinary or extraordinary during a period
determined in the short term or long term, as well as that produced by other sources of financing that
generated cash (that is, detail all the sources of cash and its equivalents) and also detail in what
it was used, where all that mass of money (cash applications) was invested, for this there are methods to
obtain these results such as the direct and indirect method of cash flow since it is considered as
cash to the available resources and high liquidity investments, making it necessary to have the income statement and the
balance sheet attached documents to determine the cash flow.
