b. Explain the discrepancy between net income and cash flows from operations.

Cash flows from operations concern about cash movement (cash inflows and outflows)
from a business operation while net income is net profit (revenues in excess of expenses)
reported in bottom line of income statement. Cash flows applies cash accounting whereas
net income is accrual adjusted. Net income reflects a business’s financial performance
whereas cash flows from operations tell stakeholders business liquidity and flexibility.

transactions can be traced and time stamped while some net income transactions can be
arbitrary.
