Course Overview
  

Course Overview

The Statement of Cash Flows is one of the most critical financial reports used to evaluate an organization's liquidity, operational efficiency, and financial health. Unlike profit-based reporting, it provides a clear view of how cash is generated and utilized through operating, investing, and financing activities. Finance professionals must be able to prepare, analyze, and interpret cash flow statements to support financial planning, regulatory compliance, investment decisions, and strategic business management.

The Statement of Cash Flows Training by myTectra is a comprehensive instructor-led program designed to equip participants with practical expertise in cash flow statement preparation, cash flow classification, direct and indirect methods, working capital adjustments, non-cash investing and financing activities, financial statement integration, liquidity analysis, forecasting, and financial reporting. Participants will also gain hands-on experience using Microsoft Excel to prepare cash flow statements, automate calculations, build financial models, create dashboards, and generate management reports.

Through instructor-led sessions, practical accounting exercises, Excel-based workshops, financial reporting simulations, real-world case studies, AI-powered financial analytics demonstrations, and a comprehensive capstone project, participants will develop the skills required to prepare accurate cash flow statements and make informed financial decisions.
