If they were accrued last year into payables, they were already in the Cashflows of last year. Payables go into working capital changes on OCF

If this was payables expenses means wages, salary, rent, tax etc. then you can show it as expenses in current year in the following month from the month when it was accrued or if the expenses are not paid in last year and paid in current year then you can show it as
prior period expenses

Forgot .....then this year cash flow, the cash and equivalents balance will reduce to get the main cash status after three activities.

Okk thanks, and what is the treatment of investment in cash of switching

What is the meaning of switching?

Anyways all investments go through CF from Investment activities irrespective of cash or bank because the cash and equivalents holds all payments made and cash received on receipts adjustments. 

Switching mean no bank or cash involved just switch one investment to other for example kotak equity switch to axis corporate fund

Txs for clarity, how ever you like to switch you can do it as long as you recognise your investments in the balance sheet. All non current assets which includes investments fall under investing activities. 

Accrued expenses paid effect in CFS

1. If Indirect method

Adjustment in operating activity

Decrease in Liability
so deduction in working capital change

2 But if Direct method
directly deducted
