Many times when i am doing questions on statement of cash flows i notice that sometimes the books do ledgers for some workings for example tax and government grant. And sometimes they do not do that workings.
My question is how will i know which items of the statement of cash flow will require a ledger as workings and when will it not require it.
Everything can be done both ways and you will get the same answer. I prefer to use ledgers/T-accounts but others prefer workings. What you decide to use depends on what you understand best.
