The Murdock Corporation's Statement of Cash Flows is one of the financial statements that are prepared at the end of the accounting period to show the inflow and outflow of cash during the period.  It shows the cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities of the corporation.  There are two methods for preparing this statement: the direct method and the indirect method.  The direct method shows the actual inflows and outflows for operating activities while the indirect method starts with the net income to reconcile the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis.
