2.80 What are the different cash flow statement presentation options in the “Entry table” and how do these affect the financial statements?

A. The different options and their effect on the financial statements are explained in the table here below:

Option	Effect on the financial statements
Statement presentation – Either ‘Indirect’ or ‘Direct’ method	Direct method – the statement starts from ‘Cash flows used in operations’ and is mainly completed manually by the user. Indirect method – the statement starts from ‘Profit/ (loss) before tax’ and is adjusted by profit or loss items on assets and liabilities, working capital changes before arriving at ‘Cash flows used in operations’. This statement is adjusted by the user only for non-cash items.
Interest expense - (Map numbers “6.T.8. 1” to “6.T.8. 9”)	Option to present either before “Net cash flows used in operating activities” or as part of “Cash flows from financing activities”

When the presentation on the face of the Balance sheet is selected the short/ long term portion is entered directly in the appropriate line of the balance sheet.
