The Statement Of Cash Flows: Improving The Quality Of Cash Flow Information Provided To Investors, Paul Munter, SEC Chief Accountant
Introduction: The Importance of Cash Flow Reporting for Investors
The statement of cash flows is integral to a complete set of financial statements, and it should therefore be subject to the same level of due professional care, effective internal controls, and robust, high-quality audit as other financial statements. Unfortunately, we have observed that preparers and auditors may not always apply the same rigor and attention to the statement of cash flows as they do to other financial statements, which may impede high quality financial reporting for the benefit of investors. This is evidenced by the statement of cash flows consistently being a leading area of financial statement restatements, and by our observations of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) around the preparation and presentation of the statement of cash flows.

ICE Mortgage Monitor: Equity Withdrawals Rose Slightly in Q3 2023, but High Interest Rates Are Compressing Usage by 55%
- Despite clear signs of slowing, home prices hit yet another seasonally adjusted high in October, with unadjusted annual growth rising to +4.6%, up from +4.2% in September
- Recent home price gains have returned tappable equity to within 3% its 2022 peak, contributing to a modest increase in equity withdrawals in Q3
- Just 0.41% of tappable equity available at the beginning of the quarter was withdrawn in Q3, some 55% below the average withdrawal rate seen from 2010-2021
- An estimated $54B in equity withdrawals were forgone in Q3 as rising interest rates increased the cost of equity utilization, with an aggregate $250B missing over the last 18 months
- Despite compressed volumes, cash-outs continue to fuel what is left of the refinance market accounting for 92% of Q3 activity, with borrowers withdrawing a record $104K on average
- Purchase lending continues to dominate the market overall, driving 86% of all first lien lending in Q3, with roughly 75% of 2024 originations expected to come from purchase loans
- Rising rates continue to put pressure on homebuyers, with debt-to-income (DTI) ratios on purchase loans hitting multiyear highs in October, according to ICE Market Trends data
- Data also suggests tightening lending criteria, as credit scores for conventional, FHA and VA purchase loans all hit series highs, with FHA credit scores up 14 points year over year
- While foreclosure starts rose in October, near-term risks remain muted due to a combination of historically low serious delinquency rates and strong equity positions among such loans
