The statement of cash flows best addresses the fact that a firm that's profitable on paper can be forced into bankruptcy. This is because the statement of cash flows shows the actual cash in and out of the business, providing a clearer picture of the company's liquidity and ability to meet its obligations. It looks beyond profitability to evaluate a firm's cash flow position.
nothing both r similarAlternate answer:The fund flow statement shows the sources and uses of working capital. Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities (usually excluding the short term portion of interest bearing debt). The cash flow statement explains the change in cash (and cash equivalents), by showing the change in cash as a result of operating, investing and financing activities. The sum of these equal the change in cash over the period.An important difference is that working capital is broader than 'just' cash (and cash equivalents). For example, working capital can increase even though cash is decreasing (for example when the increase in inventory and accounts receivables is larger than the cash decline).Nowadays companies provide a cash flow statement.

The Income Statement deals only with revenues and expenses. The Cash Flow Statement includes any form of cash flow, be it revenues, expenses, the sale or purchase of assets, payment or proceeds from liabilities, etc etc.. Hence the income statement does not provide a complete picture of the entity's cash activities. Does this make sense? If it doesn't, drop me a line :) Happy study!
