Financing Activities:
Financing activities include those transactions and events that affect long-term liabilities and equity. Examples are (i) obtaining cash from issuing debt and repaying the amounts borrowed and (ii) receiving cash from or distributing cash to owners. Incurring or repaying either short-term or long-term debt would result in a corresponding cash inflow or outflow. As a general rule, borrowing from creditors or repaying creditors as well as transactions with the company’s owners are classified as financing activities. For example- when a company borrows money by issuing a bond, the transaction is classified as financing activities.
