Why a decrease in current asset is added to the cash flow statement?
There are a few reasons that vary based on the current asset you're referring to. If its a prepaid expense that's been decreased you've generally increased an expense. 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.
What are the major reasons for accrual accounting?
The accounting method under which revenues are recognized on the income statement when they are earned (rather than when the cash is received). The balance sheet is also affected at the time of the revenues by either an increase in Cash (if the service or sale was for cash), an increase in Accounts Receivable (if the service was performed on credit), or a decrease in Unearned Revenues (if the service was performed after the customer had paid in advance for the service).Under the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are matched with revenues on the income statement when the expenses expire or title has transferred to the buyer, rather than at the time when expenses are paid. The balance sheet is also affected at the time of the expense by a decrease in Cash (if the expense was paid for when it incurred), an increase in Accounts Payable (if the expense will be paid in the future), or a decrease in Prepaid Expenses (if the expense was paid in advance).
