ABSTRACT

Each year, many companies report healthy profits  but file for bankruptcy nevertheless.This research work centered on the assessment of the effects

of cash flow statements on corporate financial performance using selected companies in  the  petroleum marketing and food  beverages listed in  the Nigerian stock exchange. In the course of this research, three hypothesis were formulated and for testing the hypothesis, data were sourced through secondary data from· four companies, two each from petroleum marketing and food/beverage  sector  of  NSE, using their  annual  report  (financial statements). The  data  were  analysed using tables  and  charts and the hypotheses were tested  using regression and ANOVA. It  was found out that  effective  and  efficient  cash  flow  analysis·   is  highly  needed  and · significantly useful to  determine the solvency or otherwise of a  business and a  basis for forecasting future  prospects of a  firm.   Also that  both in short and long run,  a   business must generate positive  cash flows from operations if the business is to survive. Thus, a  business with negative cash flow  from  operations will  not  be able to  raise cash from  other  source-. _ Therefore, it was recommended among other suggestions that a  cash flow statement be used in conjunction  with accrual reporting information so as   · to  be  able  to'  obtain  qualitative  information  on  profitability,   financial strength, financial flexibility  and financial risk of enterprise.
