Talk:Cash flow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article as it is currently written appears to me to ne more a criticism of GAAP and also how cash flow can be also be fudged. It does not have appear to be neutral in its commentary. NilssonDenver 18:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Please update the section "Benefits of using Cash Flow". You can address all the issues raised. There were none on the page I overwrote. Neither are there any on the pages similar to this topic. I don't understand why you think this anti GAAP. Cash flow and Net Income are both GAAP measures. In fact they are simple math derivations of each other.Retail Investor 17:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from cash flow projection

Cash flow projection is an unreferenced stub but might make sense as a section here. --SueHay 14:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Cash flow and cash projects are completely different areas of finance and should not be merged. For example we do not need to calculte the present value of current cash or historical cash flow - they are acounting measures - cash is after all king. Projected cash flows however are more difficult to manage and need a greater understanding of DCF, NPV, IRR etc. In and MBA course they are usually in different modules to reflect this.
