Overview
In this first session of the Course, which runs approximately two hours including a rest break, participants identify the financial information necessary to construct a Uniform Credit Analysis (UCA) cash flow statement and explore the reasons for incorporating balance sheet information in the construction and use of a comprehensive cash flow statement. They manually construct a UCA cash flow statement and assess the content and relevance of each section in the UCA cash flow statement in identifying 1) borrowing causes, 2) cash sources of interest-bearing debt service, 3) the financing requirement or surplus, and 4) the sources of cash to meet a financing requirement for a borrower or prospective borrower. In addition, participants contrast UCA cash flow results and signals about borrower cash flow adequacy with two cash flow proxies - traditional "cash flow" and EBITDA - in exploring the analytical limitations of cash flow proxies based solely on income statement information.
