Statement of Cash Flows: Direct Method - Lesson 1

In this video, 25.03 – Statement of Cash Flows: Direct Method – Lesson 1, Roger Philipp, CPA, CGMA, first compares and contrasts the two methods for calculating operating activities cash flows.

The direct method requires directly analyzing each item on the income statement and converting it from accrual to cash. The indirect method involves starting with net income and indirectly reconciling back to the ending balance on the statement of cash flows via a series of analysis and adjustments.

Roger then moves from theory to application by setting up a statement of cash flows example for teaching the direct method.

So when we talked about net cash provided by operating activities, we ended up with this number here, which was $135.
