About this lesson

This video covers the three major cash flow headings—operating, investing, and financing activities—and shows you which new items appear in each section when consolidating. You'll discover how to handle group-specific non-cash transactions like goodwill impairment, associate profit shares, and subsidiary disposals, plus the additional cash flows from acquiring subsidiaries and receiving dividends from associates. This is essential preparation for SBR and other advanced financial reporting papers where consolidated cash flow statements are regularly tested, and the video includes multiple worked illustrations to help you master an area many students find challenging.
