The income statement shows the difference between a firm's income and its costsi.e., its profitsduring a specified period of time. However, not all reported income comes in the form or cash, and reported costs likewise may not correctly reflect cash outlays. Therefore, there may be a substantial difference between a firm's reported profits and its actual cash flow for the same period.

Its retained earnings is the actual cash that the firm has generated through operations less the cash that has been paid out to stockholders as dividends. Retained earnings are kept in cash or near cash accounts and, thus, these cash accounts, when added together, will always be equal to the firm's total retained earnings.

The retained earnings account on the balance sheet does not represent cash. Rather, it represents part of stockholders' claims against the firm's existing assets. This implies that retained earnings are in fact stockholders' reinvested earnings.

In accounting, emphasis is placed on determining net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In finance, the primary emphasis is also on net income because that is what investors use to value the firm. However, a secondary financial consideration is cash flow, because cash is needed to operate the business.

Interest paid by a corporation is a tax deduction for the paying corporation, but dividends paid are not deductible.
