If you are of the opinion that only good sales of a company define its financial position, STOP! 🤚 Because while sales do determine a company's revenue, an investor must never neglect whether it's coming from cash or credit. That's where a proper understanding of Cashflow Statements comes into play!

What will you learn?
As the famous saying goes, “Cash is the King”; it is true for companies as well. Cash being the most liquid asset, is very important for any business. Cash in the business serves many purposes, such as emergency funds, serving sudden investment opportunities, debt servicing and, of course, the day-to-day operational needs of the company.
But how does it serve your purpose of investing? By analysing the cash flows of the company, you can get many insights that will help you in taking informed investment decisions. The efficiency of a business in generating cash determines its sustainability and liquidity position.
So, there are certain cash inflows and outflows in the company, which are categorised into three heads:
Cash Flow from Operational Activities,
Cash Flow from Investing Activities, &
Cash Flow from Financing Activities.
These three include all the cash flows. In this course, we will learn why it is important to analyse, how to analyse each head, how it impacts the overall cash flows of the company and, most importantly, how it will help you take better investment decisions by calculating and analysing certain ratios. Along with the P&L and balance sheet analysis, the cash flow statement can help you spot some red and green flags in the business.
