Are they sufficient relative to the company’s size and obligations? What might red flags (e.g., aggressive accounting) indicate? 3:02 – 4:00 | The Analyst’s Role in Cash Flow Analysis Describes how analysts “dig deep” into cash flow trends by examining working capital management, timing issues, and consistency to spot potential risks or opportunities. 4:00 – 6:00 | Introduction to Cash Flow Ratios & Common Size Analysis Introduces essential analytical tools—ratios and common size analysis—that help turn raw cash flow data into actionable insights for comparing companies and tracking performance over time. 6:00 – 8:20 | Deep Dive: Common Size Analysis Explained Breaks down two main approaches: (1) expressing each cash flow line item as a percentage of total cash inflows/outflows, and (2) as a percentage of net revenue. Examples illustrate how these methods reveal efficiency and trends. 8:20 – 10:11 | Free Cash Flow Fundamentals: FCFF & FCFE Explains the concepts of free cash flow to the firm (FCFF) and free cash flow to equity (FCFE), highlighting why these metrics are critical for evaluating a company’s financial flexibility and its ability to invest or return capital. 10:11 – 12:00 | Essential Cash Flow Ratios for Financial Analysis Covers key ratios—such as cash flow to revenue, cash return on assets (CROA), cash return on equity, interest coverage, dividend payment, and investing/financing ratios—that help assess performance, efficiency, and stability. 12:00 – 13:02 | Impact of Balance Sheet Changes on Cash Flow Explains how variations in balance sheet accounts (assets, liabilities, and equity) affect cash inflows and outflows, helping analysts understand the underlying shifts in liquidity. 13:02 – 16:00 | Conclusion & Recap: Key Cash Flow Insights for CFA Candidates Summarizes the main points—from sources and uses of cash to free cash flow measures and ratio analysis—and reinforces why mastering cash flow analysis is essential for both exam success and real‑world financial decision‑making. 16:00 – 21:31 | Final Recap & Exam Preparation Tips Offers closing insights, practical tips for applying these concepts (using CFA curriculum examples and practice questions), and encouragement to keep refining cash flow analysis skills for a successful finance career.
