Chapter 12 - Statement of Cash Flows - Questions - Page 662: 6

Answer

Many activities in a company are non-cash activities which do not involve cash. Non Cash activities are not reported in the body of the statement of cash flows. Instead, companies mention all the non-cash activities in either a separate schedule which is maintained at the bottom of the statement of cash flows or maintained in a separate schedule or sometimes a supplementary schedule is maintained to the financial statements. Company FC also reports "Non cash investing and financing activities" at the bottom in a separate schedule of its statement of cash flows.
