:  Here's what I found: Operating cash flow will include all the balance sheet accounts that are a part of normal operations. Trade receivables and payables as well as accrued expenses, prepaid expenses and other current assets that are a part of day-to-day operations are included in operating cash flow. The remaining balance sheet accounts will either be investing activities or financing activities. Once again, you determine the change in each balance sheet account from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, tally them up, and there you have it -- a complete picture of the cash flow for your company.
