Abstract:
In Romania, the presentation of Statement of cash flows is compulsory only for certain entities, while cash flow information represents an essential component of analyze. Our study seeks to identify the need of cash flow information in the entities form Mureş County, according to the specificity of the economic, social and financial environment. The main objectives of our study are: (i) to identify in what extent the companies from county Mureş feel the need for information provide by Statement of cash flows; (ii) to identify, in direct relation with the size of the company, the real user of information provided by Statement of cash flows; (iii) to identify the purpose of cash flow information in the financial management of the entity and who are the main users of this information; (iv) to identify which entity should prepare the Statement of cash flows, for a complete set of financial statements. We hypothesize that, although an entity should prepare a cash flow statement just if it is compulsory, the need for this kind of information will determine the potential users to require information based on a cash-flow analysis. To collect data for our survey, we sent out questionnaires to the companies from Mureş County.
