The cash flow sets out when costs will be incurred and how much they will amount to during the life of the project. The cash flow statement, also known as the statement of cash flows, is an analytical tool that is used to show the amount of cash and cash equivalents going in (cash inflow) and out (cash outflow) of a business’ finances. In basic terms, the cash flow statement illustrates the extent to which a business generates enough cash to fund its operating expenses and meet its debt obligations.

In accounting, the cash flow statement is often used to complement the balance sheet and income statement, and is helpful for determining the short-term viability of a business; providing information on the liquidity and solvency of a business. It also helps provide an indication of the amount and timing of future cash flows.

The cash flow statement is typically split into three areas:

* Cash flow from operating activities (production, sales, delivery, purchasing, shipping, and so on).
* Cash flow from investing activities (purchase or sale of assets, loans made or received, payments related to mergers and acquisition).
* Cash flow from financing activities (inflow from investors, outflow as dividends to shareholders, and so on).
