FINANCIAL INSTITUTION? Allowed to show net effect in cash flow stat.


 -accepting and repaying deposits if it has fixed maturity rate.
 Placing deposits with other financial institutions and withdrawing.
 Providing cash advances and loans and then receiving it back.

BORROWING COST: must be shown separately: as a line item not as an asset together with
total interest paid. (Show the actual interest expense: not the asset that has been capitalized.)

LEASES: payment of capital = financing activity (liability we are lessee)


: Payment of interest = operating, or financing activities
: Receipt of capital = investment activities (asset we are lessor)
: Receipt of interest = show in line item interest received for the year.

LOW VALUE ASSET: or short term lease Lessee side: straight line method
In cash flow statement: can’t show straight lined amount -> show the actual amount under operating
activity

BANK OVERDRAFT: classify as cash and cash equivalent if:


1. Only include bank overdraft if the records show that we are in red then green, and so; on a
regular basis.
2. Bank should be able to at any given time demand a repayment of this facility.

If there is a notice period attached to the facility = financing
