LEARNING OBJECTIVES
LEARNING CONTENTS
The Statement of Changes in Equity (SoCE) is a statement dated “for the year ended”. The report
shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the equity account. It summarizes
the equity transactions with the owners of the business that occurred during the year.
There are three basic forms of business organization, namely: (1) sole proprietorship, (2)
partnership, and (3) corporation. They differ in terms of number of owners, legal personality of
the business, and ease of transferability of ownership.
a. Sole Proprietorship is the simplest form of a business organization. There is only one
owner referred to as sole proprietor. Oftentimes, the owner is also the manager. The
business has no legal personality separate from its owner. In the eyes of the law, the
business and the owner is one entity. For example, the business and the owner are taxed
as one. Also, the claim of the creditors of the business extends to the personal assets of
the owner. As a result, raising capital for the business is constrained to the owner’s
resources and credit standing.

b. Partnership is a business owned by two or more owners called partners. They pool their
resources together such as money property and industry, to operate a business and divide
the profit among themselves. Partners re generally involved in the management of the
business. The agreement of the partners is stated in the contract of partnership specifically,
the partner’s profit and loss sharing arrangements.
A partnership has a legal personality separate from its owners’. It is taxed separately from
the partners except for those formed for the practice of the profession of the partners (i.e.
lawyers, accountants, etc.) However, the claims of the partnership creditors may extend to
the partners personal assets.
The Corporation Code governs all corporations in the Philippines. Corporations are
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Some corporations are
listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). This means PSE provides a platform where
investors can buy and sell stocks of listed corporations.

CLASSIFICATION OF CASH
• Operating Activities
Operating activities are the cash flows derived primarily from the principal revenue producing
activities of the entity.
• Investing Activities
Investing activities are the cash flows derived from the acquisition and disposal of long-term
assets and other investments not included in cash equivalent.
As a simple guide, investing activities include cash flows from transactions involving
nonoperating assets.
• Financing Activities
Financing activities are the cash flows derived from the equity capital and borrowings of the
entity.
In other words, financing activities are the cash flows that result from transactions:
a. Between the entity and the owners – equity financing
FM 101: Financial Analysis and Reporting Module 4: Equity Changes and Cash Flow Reporting
Interest
• Interest paid and interest received shall be classified as operating cash flows because they
enter into the determination of net income or loss.
• Alternatively, interest paid may be classified as financing cash flow because it is a cost of
obtaining financial resources.
• Alternatively, interest received may be classified as investing cash flows because it is a
return on investment.
• For a financial institution, interest paid and interest received are usually classified as
operating cash flows.
Dividends
• Dividend received shall be classified as operating cash flow because it enters into the
determination of net income.
• Alternatively, dividend received may be classified as investing cash flow because it is a
return on investment.
• Dividend paid shall be classified as financing cash flow because it is a cost of obtaining
financial resources.
• Dividend paid may be classified as operating cash flow in order to assist users to determine
the ability of the entity to pay dividends out of operating cash flows.
Income taxes
• Cash flows arising from income taxes shall be separately disclosed as cash flows from
operating activities unless they can be specifically identified with investing and financing
activities.
• Tax cash flows are often difficult to match to the originating underlying transaction, so most
of the time all tax cash flows are classified as arising from operating activities.
Direct Method
PAS 7, paragraph 18, provides that an entity shall report cash flows from operating activities using
FM 101: Financial Analysis and Reporting Module 4: Equity Changes and Cash Flow Reporting
The direct method shows in detail or itemizes the major classes of gross cash receipts and gross
cash payments.
The cash receipts are listed one by one, the cash payments are listed one by one, and the difference
represents the net cash flows from operating activities.

Accrued salaries payable – 2018 10,000
Total 960,000
Accrued salaries payable – 2019 (25,000)
Salaries paid 935,000

PAS 7, paragraph 32, provides that interest paid is disclosed separately whether it has been
recognized in profit or loss or capitalized.
Paragraph 35 provides that income tax paid is also disclosed or presented separately.
Observe that the depreciation of P50,000 and amortization of P10,000 do not appear in the
statement of cash flows using the direct method.
The reason is that these are noncash expenses or expenses not requiring use of cash.
PAS 7, paragraph 19, provides that entities are encouraged to report cash flows from operating
activities using the direct method.
Indirect Method
The indirect method means that the net income or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of
a noncash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts and payments,
and items of income or expense associated with investing and financing activities.
The indirect method of presenting the cash flow from operations begins with the accrual basis net
income and applies a series of adjustments to convert the income to a cash basis.
The following general guidelines are offered for the adjustments of net income to cash basis:
1. All increases in trade noncash current assets are deducted from the net income.
2. All decreases in trade noncash current assets are added to net income.
3. All increases in trade current liabilities are added to net income.
4. All decreases in trade current liabilities are deducted from net income.
5. Depreciation, amortization and other noncash expenses are added back to net income to
eliminate the effect they had on net income.
6. Any gain on disposal of property or gain on early retirement of nontrade liabilities is included
in net income but it is a nonoperating item. Thus, this is deducted from net income.
7. Any loss on disposal of property or loss on early retirement of nontrade liabilities is deducted
from net income but thus is a nonoperating item Thus, this is added back to net income.
8. Other noncash income or gain is deducted from net income and other noncash expense or
loss is added to net income to eliminate the effect on net income.
Continuing the Illustration, the changes in current assets and current liabilities are summarized as
follows:
