Finance costs-cash flows indirect method.

Dear Chris Before you put them into operating activities finance costs were called finance costs. After you put them into operating activities finance costs changed their name to interest paid. Why does this happen ?

Hi, It is because the finance cost is what is expensed and this is not the same as what it paid in the year. We are likely to have opening and closing accruals to adjust the fiance cost to get the cash paid. Thanks
