The document discusses the direct and indirect methods for preparing the statement of cash flows and provides guidelines for adjusting net income to the cash basis under the indirect method.

The direct method reports major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments, while the indirect method adjusts net income for non-cash items and changes in working capital. The direct method does not include depreciation/amortization in the calculation.

Under the indirect method, non-cash expenses such as depreciation are added back to net income, gains/losses on disposal of assets are deducted/added, and changes in working capital accounts are deducted/added depending if they use assets or reduce liabilities.
