Answer / Pooja Bangari

A Cash Flow Statement shows the inflow and outflow of cash within an organization over a specific period. It includes operating, investing, and financing activities. An Accrual Profit & Loss Account (P&L) represents the revenues earned and expenses incurred during a particular accounting period, regardless of when cash is received or paid. Simplified organizations may not require a P&L statement if they have minimal transactions and can manage their finances effectively using a Cash Flow Statement.
