theoretically: If balance of current asset increases, cash flow from operations will decrease. If balance of current asset decreases, cash flow from operations will increase. If balance of a current liability increases, cash flow from operations will increase. If balance of a current liability decreases, cash flow from operations will decrease. Eg: When receivable increase due to poor collection in CY, it may result in increase in profit for the period, but decrease in operating cash flows. Also, early settlement of Current liabilities will result in decrease in operating cashflows.
