In general, differences between net income and CFO (cash flow
from operations) are captured in operating current asset and
operating current liability accounts
Think accrued salaries expense: If employees have not been
paid for the last three days of the year, the journal entry made to
recognize salaries expense is:
Dr Wage Expense (-RE)
4,000
Cr Wages Payable (+L)
4,000
Thus, to arrive at CFO, adjustments that need to be made to Net
Income:
z
z

Subtract net increase in operating current assets other than cash itself
Add net increase in operating current liabilities

What is the cash consequence of recording depreciation
expense?
How are depreciation expenses recorded? Quick tutorial!
Say, buy PP&E for $ 10 million at the beginning of Year 1
Estimated life is 10 years
Estimated scrap value after 10 years: 0
Depreciation method: straight line
Depreciation expense every year: $(10 million / 10) = $ 1 million

attached to long-term depreciable assets (like PP&E)
At the end of one year, on balance sheet

Gross value of PP&E:
Less: accumulated depreciation:
Net PP&E:
