year end payment pays off the year’s finance cost 786 © Emile Woolf Publishing Limited Answers to practice questions (b) The statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position are based on the accruals concept whereas the statement of cash flows is based on the cash concept Cash is the 'life blood' of the company and is therefore critical to an entity’s survival Without cash to pay suppliers, the work force and other payables, the company will cease to operate, irrespective of how profitable it is Shareholders need to know that a company is viable and has the resources to continue, and perhaps expand, operations Suppliers need to know they will be paid and customers need to know the company is in a position to continue operations Profit may be significantly affected by the choice of accounting policies made by a company This means it is more subjective than cash and more open to manipulation However, the statement of cash flows itself may be subject to window dressing, for example by delaying payment of suppliers until after year end The auditor needs to be involved in this respect to ensure the shareholders and other users receive meaningful information The statement of cash flows gives additional information not provided by the other financial statements 29 The Grape Group Group statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 March Year $000 Cash
