Explanation:
When indirect method is used to prepare cash flow statments the operating activities is most affected. Unlike in the direct method that starts with receipt from customers,the indirect method starts with net income and add back all non-cash movement items like depreciation, amortisation, impairment etc. Also gains and losses that are not recurrent are removed from operating activities or out of the net income and treated as investment activities. In addition, working capital items like; account payable, inventory and account receivable are adjusted and included as part of operating activities. If there was an increase in account receivable or inventory, it implies cash outflow ( more customers owe money and stock were purchased). However, decrease in account payable indicated outflow. implying payment of suppliers as their indebtedness becomes due.
