If you wanted to make sure a company has enough money available to pay its bills, which financial statement would be most helpful?

A cash flow statement shows the cash coming into and going out of a company, including whether enough cash is available to cover bills. The balance sheet shows assets and debts at a point in time, but the cash flow statement is more directly useful for tracking the ability to pay expenses as they come due. The correct choice is the statement of cash flows.
