Preparing the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows requires the analysis of non-current liability and equity accounts, as well as any short-term loans incurred for lending purposes rather than trade.

Financing Activities

Transactions that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity capital or borrowings of the entity, as reported in a company’s cash flow statement.

Non-current Liability

Liabilities that are not due within the next twelve months, such as long-term loans, bonds payable, and deferred tax liabilities.

Short-term Loans

Loans scheduled to be repaid in less than a year, typically used for immediate cash flow needs or small-scale expenses.
