# Overview

> Cash flow statements are financial statements that show the inflow and outflow of cash and cash equivalents from a company's operations, investments, and financing activities over a specific period of time.

The Cash Flow Statements Data Model represents financial statements that show the inflow and outflow of cash and cash equivalents from a company's operations, investments, and financing activities over a specific period of time.

* **Unified cash flow statement properties**: Essential cash flow statement details, such as period dates, cash balances, and activity line items, are standardized across different accounting platforms
* **Hierarchical line item structure**: The model supports nested line items for operating, investing, and financing activities, enabling detailed breakdowns of cash flow
* **Automatic generation**: Cash flow statements are typically generated automatically based on recorded financial transactions
