Which financial statement reconciliation reconciles net income to cash generated from operating activities under the indirect method?
ADirect Cash Flow Statement
BIndirect Cash Flow Reconciliation
CStatement of Equity
DWorking Capital Statement
Explanation
• The Indirect Method converts net income (accrual basis) into operating cash flow by adjusting for non-cash expenses (depreciation) and working capital shifts.
• Non-cash costs like depreciation are added back to net income; gains on asset sales are subtracted.
• Increases in current operating assets (e.g., inventory) reduce cash, while increases in current liabilities increase operating cash flow.
