- Received from customers
• Cash received from your customers for the period. Make sure this amount is based on your actual receipts, not your booked sales. An increase in your accounts receivable may increase your profit on paper, but it does not change your cash flow.

• Total cash paid for the period to purchase inventory. Like your cash received, your cash paid during a period should be your actual cash payments.
- For insurance
• Total cash paid for insurance, advertising, rent payments and lease payments.
- For payroll
• Total cash paid for your payroll and employment taxes.
- Interest paid
• Total interest expenses you paid during this period.
