With the Transparency and Publicity Law of 2002 (TraPuG) in Germany, cash flow accounting was raised to an independent part of the annual financial statement. The corporate cash flow statement must consider legal and official regulatory requirements and the reporting must be in line with international accounting regulations (IAS 7, US-GAAP-SFAS 95, DRS 2). In addition, the external shareholders and outside creditors of the companies expect current and top quality information on the present development of the financial situation. Therefore, the financial analysis of business reports can indirectly influence the expectations and prognoses of creditors (share price, credit standing, etc.). To meet these demands as well as the challenges of the market and of the competition,

  quick and flexible reactions with modern tools and reporting means

  are necessary today. For the financial area, this means that internal as well as external requirements must be met and relevant information (as for example, a statement on the consolidated cash flow) must be provided in a high quality and timely way through the corporate reporting system in increasingly narrower timeframes. This information forms the basis of sound operative and strategic fiscal decisions and supports the actual, planning and budgeting operations. Additional influences arise from reorganisation across the group, altered structures and requirements for parallel evaluations in accordance with different accounting regulations.

  Detailed information

  Up until now, the figures for a consolidated cash flow statement come mostly from secondary accounts such as the fixed asset schedule, equity development, balance sheet or profit and loss statement. They must be gathered at great expense. Additional data can only be extracted from secondary and/or auxiliary statements and then painstakingly compiled on Excel Sheets. Added to this are requests from other departments or other colleagues. With the time pressure, the hectic pace and stress, this can be extremely laborious. During the period, one often manages with something less exact and with simpler "light versions" of consolidated cash flow statements - to avoid frequent requests from affiliated companies and costly clarifications of differences. If changes are made to subsequent entries in the corporate financial statement, then the secondary statements must first be corrected. Only then can the corporate cash flow statement be adapted.

  Basically, however, it aims at avoiding the following situation:

  The CFO of a start-up business informed his chief advisors that the company seemed to be in some sort of difficulty and he wanted to know why.
  "Well, its not cash," said the newly-appointed controller.
  "How do you know?" was the CFO's next question.
  "Because we don't have any," replied the controller.
