Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement (CFS) had been in use in South Africa since October 1988. It replaced the Statement of Sources and Application of Funds, which had been in use since 1973. In spite of the general acceptance of the benefits of the CFS and its superiority over the Statement of Sources and Application of Funds, there are certain inherent problems. These problems mainly relate to the format of the CFS and its ability to assist in forecasting the survival prospects of an enterprise. In this article the focus is firstly on the format of the CFS and it is compared with the requirement of other guidelines. A revised format is proposed. It also considers the usefulness of the CFS as a management tool in financial decision making. Areas of financial decision making which are considered, are financing, capital investment, dividend and pricing decisions. The final conclusion is that although the CFS could be standardized to a large extent, the same does not apply to the calculation of cash flows for financial decision making in different areas.

Then, financial literacy measures from previous studies over different countries would be discussed to show financial illiteracy problem is global. Lastly, solutions and recommendations would be discussed at three different levels: younger people, individuals, and national strategies.

The main aim of the study is to find the effect of the financial advertisement on the respondent’s information selection, processing and analysing it while making the financial purchase decisions. The study identified the important factors that affect the investment decision-making process and explored them by using the exploratory factor analysis. The conceptual model has been tested using the AMOS SEM software. The factor analysis identified the four important factors that are affecting the financial decision-making, that is, financial literacy, celebrity endorsement, perceived reality and entertainment. The hypothesis testing reveals that advertisement, perceived reality and entertainment are affecting the information processing and financial decision-making process, whereas financial literacy and celebrity endorsement do not have significant effects on the financial product purchase. The results are useful for the advertisers, policy makers and the financial service providers so as to increase the sale of financial products by focusing on the variables extracted by the research.
