Consolidated Cash Flows

AAvery5y ago
Dear sir, In the event of a disposal of a subsidiary, we add the overdraft in relation to the subsidiary along with the disposal proceeds in the cash flows from investing activities. Could you kindly explain why? Why is the overdraft being included? Aren't we losing that overdraft, as once the subsidiary is disposed off, the overdraft will go to the buyer as it is no longer ours? Thank you

Losing the overdraft is a good thing. Cash is net of overdrafts. So losing an overdraft is an inflow of cash.
