In brief

IntermediatePresentationCash flowsIndustry-specificDisclosure

This subtopic applies the statement of cash flows requirements to investment companies and points to the narrow exemption that lets certain investment companies omit the statement entirely. It also identifies noncash investing and financing activities peculiar to investment companies — notably reinvested dividends and distributions — that must be disclosed.

Key points (4)
  • The subtopic governs statements of cash flows for investment companies and the circumstances in which such an entity is exempt from presenting one (230-946-05-1).
  • Scope follows the investment company scope in Section 946-10-15 (230-946-15-1).
  • The conditions for exemption from providing a statement of cash flows are set out in paragraph 230-10-15-4, not in this subtopic itself (230-946-45-1).
  • Reinvestments of dividends and distributions are examples of noncash investing and financing activities that must be disclosed under paragraphs 230-10-50-3 through 50-4 (230-946-55-1).

For students. Investment companies are one of the few entities that can skip the statement of cash flows, but only if every condition in 230-10-15-4 is met — students often assume the exemption is automatic for any fund, when it is conditional and must be tested each period. Even when exempt-analysis is done, noncash items like dividend reinvestments still require disclosure.
