The GAAP cash flow statement has been the accepted norm for decades.
------------
▪️ Many SMB leaders have not understood their company’s cash flow for decades; this is unlikely to change…
…regardless of how many times it is “explained” in countless blogs, posts, articles, books, podcasts, webinars, graphics, YouTube videos, etc.
▪️ Cause and effect of cash flow confusion? (if you think about it, it is not difficult to figure out…the GAAP cash flow statement is ineffective)
▪️ Time for a change in how cash flow is reported?
------------
Swine-related expressions that poke fun at the weaknesses of the traditional cash flow statement:
▪️ You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
▪️ Lipstick on a pig.
