Those are the numbers in the 10-K filings, so I suspect they don't mean what we think they mean.

You are correct that the change in A/R should be reflected identically in the cash flow statement.

It seems like APOL requires further reading or, they are misstating something. Good catch.

Hi there. I would like some help with the "accounts receivables". From my understanding, if A/R increases in the balance sheet, in the cash flow statement, the increase in A/R would be subtracted off. Thus it would look something like this:

 

Balance Sheet

  Year2010

 Year2009

 Year2008

 Year2007
A/R

100

 80

 90

 60


Cash Flow Statement

  Year2010

 Year2009

 Year2008

 Year2007
Changes in A/R

 -20

 +10

 -30

  

(For cash flow from operating)

 

 

Am I right? If I'm right, why does some companies' report does not tally up? For example APOL

 

Balance Sheet

  Year2010

 Year2009

 Year2008
A/R

264

 298

 222

 

Cash Flow Statement

  Year2010

 Year2009

 Year2008
Changes in A/R

-266

 -198

  

(For cash flow from operating)

 

 

What exactly am I missing here?
