    There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:

    1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.

    These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income and the dividend and interest is received is recorded in this activity.

    The loss and gain on sale of the assets is also recorded and amortization on intangible asset is also recorded

    2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

    3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.
