what is the cash flow statement formula
Cash Flow From/Used in Operating Activities + Net Cash Flow From/Used in Investing Activities + Net Cash Flow From/Used in Financing Activities = Net Increase (or Decrease) in Cash for the Period + Cash Balance at Beginning of Period = Cash Balance at End of Period
cash balance at end of period = cash balance on balance sheet
