A sign convention under which:

  1. Positive numbers are used for cash inflows, items of income and assets.
  2. Negative numbers are used for cash outflows, expenditure and other costs, and liabilities.


The inflow/(outflow) convention is used for many types of financial reporting, but it is not universal.

A widely used alternative convention is the 'mostly positive' sign convention.
