According to the text, almost all current liabilities appear in the Operating Activities category of the statement of cash flows, but there are exceptions. Explain the exceptions and give an example


Almost all current liabilities appear in the Operating Activities category of the statement of cash flows, but there are exceptions. If a current liability is not directly related to operating activities, it should not appear in that category. For example, if a company like Home Depot uses some notes payable as a means of financing, distinct from operating activities, those borrowings and repayments are reflected in the Financing Activities rather than the Operating Activities category.
