Cash Flow statement

How to analyse the Cash Flow Statement (CFS) in Finstack Reporting, and what's specific about this statement.

What this article covers

This article focuses on Cash Flow Statement (CFS)–specific behaviour in Reporting. For general use of the Reporting page — views, filters, drilldowns, exports — see Working with Reporting.

How is the Cash Flow Statement built?

Finstack derives the CFS using the indirect method. It is not entered directly; it is calculated from references between your Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet structures, plus the Cash class on the Balance Sheet.

The references are configured in Setup → Mapping (CFS references) and Setup → Structure (the "Is cash mapping" checkbox on the Cash class).

For details, see Mapping and Structure.

Why doesn't my Cash Flow statement zero-sum?

The CFS should equal the cash movements on your Cash class. If it doesn't:

  • Check that all CFS references are set in Setup → Mapping.

  • Check that the "Is cash mapping" checkbox in Setup → Structure is only ticked for the Cash class — not for any other class.

  • All Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet GLAs have been mapped.

If all three are correct and the CFS still doesn't reconcile, use the chat interface within Finstack to reach our team.
