The term of Funds Flow has made up with the two words Funds and Flow of funds. Let us first we understand these meaning and then we see how funds flow statement is prepared.

1.CASH -

In narrow sense, the term fund is used to mean only the cash and bank balance.

2.Working Capital The term Fund is used to mean working capital i.e. the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Therefore, in this sense, fund flow statement includes all the transactions affecting current assets and current liabilities.

MEANING OF FLOW IN FUNDS

The understanding the meaning of flow in funds, it is necessary to classify the balance sheet of a concern into four parts as shown below-

1.NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES -: These

liabilities are not payable within a year and out of current assets. These liabilities are generally payable either in the long-period or at the close of the business. For example, share capital, debenture, long term loan, R&S etc

2.CURRENT LIABILITIES These liabilities are payable within a year and out of current assets. The values of these liabilities generally changes within one year. For example -:creditors, bills payable , B/O

3.NON-CURRENT ASSETS
Those assets which are obtained in business for use over a long period of time for earning purpose are called non-current assets. For example -:goodwill,p&m,l&b,

4.CURRENT ASSETS
These assets are equal to cash or reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed within one year or during the normal operating cycle of the business are called current assets. For example, debtors, bills receivable ,cash ,stock

The term Flow means changes incoming and outgoing.

When this term is used with funds, it means the changes taking place in funds during a certain period. Whenever there is change in the funds, it is presume that flow in funds has taken place. Transactions that bring working capital into the firm are sources of funds and on the contrary, if the working capital decreases, it is an application of funds.

The Funds flow statement (FFS) is a financial statement which reveals the methods by which the business has been financed and how it has used its funds between the opening and closing Balance-Sheet dates. It studies from where the funds have been received and where the funds have been used.
