Module 5 – Statement of cash flows – EY

Module 5 - Statement of cash flows

Two unique features of this series are (1) the Open Line with the tutor offering you direct support by answering your questions or giving you additional resources on topics covered in the courses and (2) the link we make between Finance and Accounting on the one hand and World 4.0 on the other. Finance is no longer a historic account of events but it looks into the future helping managers make valuable predictions and decisions.

This is a modularised online programme, on practical skills for all professionals and will equip you with skills you need in your daily working life, immediately from day 1.

Whether you are a manager looking for skills in how to link finance to business processes, or a prospective accountant that wants to start a career in Accounting under IFRS and Finance, or a working accountant that wishes to enhance their Accounting and financial management knowledge to support their daily work, you will find this course unique and resourceful.

It is also a refreshed way of looking at Accounting and Finance and some of the things we will be covering may not be available in books or publications or on the Internet.

In this 3-hour module, we go beyond the Income Statement and Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) to construct and to make use of the Statement of Cash Flows to build additional skills in analysing and interpreting Financial Statements in order to be able to make valuable predictive decisions.

By the end of the learning process you will be able to appreciate the relationship between Income Statement, balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows and how to use the information from each one of them in different ways when you analyse financial statements.

You will be guided step by step all the way from the basics to the actual construction of cash flows so that you can obtain tangible knowledge which will enable you to take lead in discussions about decisions regarding the future of your organisation.

The entire module is case study based and practical.
