If you look at a statement of cash flows, you will see the reconciling items. For example, cash is reduced when you purchase capital assets or pay off a debt - these are not expenses. Collection of receivables increases cash but the income was recognized in an earlier period. There are also non-cash items on the income statement, such as depreciation - that is an expense without reduction of cash.
