The Cash Flow
Statement and the Work Breakdown Structure
The WBS is not usually reconciled directly with the cash
flow statement. Ordinarily the project manager manages the capital budget,
whereas the WBS reflects the expense budget. The project manager's practice may
be to reconcile the capital budget with the
WBS work packages for the reporting period. However, if the project WBS is on a
cash-accounting basis, then the WBS provides the sources and uses of cash in the
project.
