Accrual Items used in Investing/Financing Cash flow Reconciliation

Rule function

Accrual-based concepts used on the income statement or the statement of stockholders’ equity should not be included in the investing and financing sections of the cash flow statement of a company’s XBRL filing.

This rule tests whether a presentation child element of IncomeStatementAbstract and StatementOfStockholdersEquityAbstract from the US-GAAP taxonomy is used as a child of any of the following elements in the company’s calculation linkbase:

1. NetCashProvidedByUsedInInvestingActivities
2. NetCashProvidedByUsedInFinancingActivities
3. NetCashProvidedByUsedInInvestingActivitiesContinuingOperations
4. NetCashProvidedByUsedInFinancingActivitiesContinuingOperations

Problem solved by the rule

This rule identifies whether accrual based elements that are intended to be used on the income statement or the statement of stockholder’s equity have been used inappropriately on the cash flow statement.

Example rule message
