Cash flow statement toolkit saves time and resources 
Research conducted by CIPFA has found that the biggest bugbear for accountants producing annual accounts is the completion of the cash flow statement. During the recent pilot of CIPFA's automated cash flow statement toolkit, organisations confirmed that the toolkit reduces the time and resources required to produce the cash flow statement. The toolkit is available from the CIPFA Shop. A one day workshop is also available as part of the purchase price.
