hello all,

i am curious to know why does, for eg, the AR a/c display a negative figure in the cash flow statement whilst it is positive in reality :

 

Doesnt it should display in positive? since its an increase?

​@Harry In accounting, Net Income is recorded as a credit balance, which is showing as positive on this report, On the other hand, AR is a debit account which decreases the Net Income.
