Accounting & BookkeepingFinancial Management3MediumAccountant$ implied
Accountant confused about correct cash flow calculation, finding that the accounting software excludes restricted cash and uses a non-standard method (net income minus principal payments), leading to non-reconciling cash flow statements.
The accounting software does not properly handle restricted cash accounts (escrow, security deposits) in the cash flow statement, and the company’s method may be incorrect, causing reconciliation failures.
