Cash flow statements.
In relation to a Cash flow statement, the indirect method means starting with a reported profit/(loss) figure, and then adjusting it to calculate the net cash movement for a period.
Contrasted with the conceptually simpler Direct method of presentation, which shows all the main categories of gross cash receipts and payments explicitly.
