What is difference between cash flow and fund flow statement

Broswe Glossary Terms: C



Net cash flow:
This is the projected change in cash position, an increase or decrease in cash balance.
Cash Flow:
The cash flow in a business plan is the change in the cash balance. For example, the cash flow for a month would be a positive $10,000 if the balance was $10,000 at the beginning of the month and $20,000 at the end of the month. It is important to distinguish cash flow, which is the change in the balance, from cash or cash balance, which is the resulting ending balance. More formally, cash flow is an assessment and understanding of cash coming into and flowing out of the venture in specific periods. This can be based on projections or actual cash flow.

Cash Flow Budget:
A budget that provides an overview of cash inflows and outflows during a specified period. This is often called the cash flow, or the cash budget. Just as cash flow is one of the most critical elements of business, the cash flow projection or table is one of the most critical elements of a business plan.

Cash Flow Statement :
One of the three main financial statements (along with Income Statement and Balance Sheet), the Cash Flow shows actual cash inflows and outflows of the business over a specified period. The Cash Flow Statement reconciles the Income Statement (Profit and Loss) with the Balance Sheet.
