Farina ...and because the direct method deiscloses a lot of data most companies would rather keep private, the indirect method is used almost universally.
jainrajeshv Why D is wrong?
surjoy Because, if your Cash Flows are presented in Direct method, you have to disclose Indirect method as a supplement.
YOUCANDOIT isnt that the other way around surjoy?
please correct me if i'm wrong though
majesty YOUCANDOIT, surjoy is correct. Both methods are permitted under IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Both IASB and FASB encourage Direct Method (and require to provide Indirect Method in supplement). That's why few companies present the Direct Method.
