How is the Cash From/Cash To Misc Operating Balance Sheet Movements calculated?

The Cash From/To Misc Operating Balance Sheet Movements amount on the Dashboard Summary is calculated as the difference between the change in Other Assets and Other Liabilities from the current balance to the balance 12 months ago.

If Miscellaneous Operating Assets have increased, this puts additional pressure on cash flow. If Miscellaneous Operating Liabilities have increased, this takes pressure off cash flow (and vice versa):

• A Decrease in Other Operating Assets increases Cash flow
• An Increase in Other Operating Assets decreases Cash flow
• An Increase in Other Operating Liabilities increases Cash flow
• A Decrease in Other Operating Liabilities decreases Cash flow

The following table shows the net change to cash flow of a change in both Operating Assets and Liabilities:

Total Other Assets and Other Liabilities can be viewed on the Monthly Data screen by creating Groups and grouping all the Assets tagged as Other, and the Liabilities tagged as Other.
