Statement of cash flows: Statement of cash flow is a financial statement that shows the cash and cash equivalents of a company for a particular period of time. It shows the net changes in cash, by reporting the sources and uses of cash as a result of operating, investing, and financing activities of a company.

Indirect method: Under indirect method, net income is reported first, and then non-cash expenses, losses from fixed assets, and changes in opening balances and ending balances of current assets are adjusted to reconcile the net income balance.
