cash flows from financing activities definition - finance

Funds that a company receives through its financing activities. It is computed by taking the amount of funds received from financing (inflows) and subtracting outflows, or the uses of financing, which come from paying down liability accounts or the payment of dividends. Inflows of cash from financing are created by increases in notes payables, long-term liabilities, and equity accounts from stock and bond issues.
