3.3 Cash flows from financing activities

Cash inflows may include:

 cash proceeds from the issue of shares

 cash receipts of loans/debenture

Cash outflows may include:

 cash repayment of loans/debentures

 dividends paid

amounts included in the statement of financial position brought forward and carried
forward on two accounts:

It is usually necessary to reconcile the opening and closing retained earnings
balances to identify any dividend paid in the year.
