History In the US in 1971, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) defined rules that made it mandatory under US GAAP to report sources and uses of funds. From the late 1970 to the mid- 1980s, the FASB discussed the usefulness of predicting future cash flows. In 1987, FASB Statement No. 95 (FAS 95) mandated that firms provide cash flow statements. In 1992, the International Accounting Standards Board issued International Accounting Standard 7 (IAS 7), Cash Flow Statements, which became effective in 1994, mandating that firms provide cash flow statements.
