Like if you have prepaid insurance it may be amortized to expense over the year. So this expense flows into cash flows through the net income amount. But you haven't paid cash for this expense it was merely reducing prepaid expense from the prior year. So it gets added to cash flows. If its account receivable that's being reduced it means in general you've received cash from your customer. But that amount is not included in net income as it was probably income and a receivable the year before. So you have to add it to cash.

An energy retail company typically maintains books such as general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory records, cash book, and financial statements. These records help track financial transactions, monitor cash flows, analyze business performance, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Companies can manipulate cash flows in several ways, such as delaying or accelerating the recognition of revenues or expenses, inflating or deflating sales figures, increasing or decreasing accounts receivable or accounts payable, and engaging in off-balance sheet transactions. Additionally, companies can use aggressive or conservative accounting techniques, such as changing the methods used to calculate depreciation, to manipulate cash flow numbers. However, these manipulations can be misleading and potentially misrepresent the financial health and performance of the company.
