Explanation:

The indirect method of cashflow statements starts with the cashflows from the operating activities to Financing and then investing activities.

An increase in an asset other than cash is a decrease in cash and vice versa. An increase in a liability is an increase in cash and vice versa. We add or subtract none cash items like depreciation, gain on asset disposal etc.
