The Statement of Cash Flows has historically given students a lot of heartburn, but it really isn\’t that scary. A cash-flow statement, simply stated, reports the uses (where the cash was spent) and the sources (where the cash came from) of cash during a period. Let\’s start with a very simplistic set of facts. I run a CPA firm, and I billed my clients $50K during the month of February. To earn that $50K, I incurred $20K of wage expense and another $10K of overhead (rent, utilities, insurance, etc.). So I made $20K profit, right? So I am sitting pretty? Not necessarily. What if I now tell you that $40K of my billings have yet to be collected? And my E&O insurance carrier increased my premium and I had to pre-pay $10K of premiums this month. How does my cash flow differ from my profit? Will these transactions appear on my income statement? My cash-flow statement?

Your task is to create an annotated bibliography based on a research question that is clear, specific and measurable.
Step 1: Create a high quality research question. ( Provided Above)
Step 2: Identify 8 evidence-based articles. Write an annotated bibliography for each source, using APA citation style. Specific types of articles are required for your literature review based on the question you ask. Be critical thinkers as you choose each article. Use the following questions to guide your selection:
1. Who wrote the piece? Someone in the industry? A celebrity? A stay-at-home blogger? You are looking for evidence rather than a random opinion from someone who may or may not know anything about the topic!
2. Who published it?
3. When was it published? Last month? Last year? Five years ago? A time before computers existed? Remember, the more current, the better!
4. What was the methodology?
Your bibliographies must contain:
1500 words total (about 200 words per citation);
a complete and accurate APA citation before each summary;
a complete summary of the article as well as an analysis of its credibility, validity and overall value (a complete summary includes methodology, participants, limitations, and conclusions);
I attached a rubric that you should take into consideration.
