Where do you enter Retained Earnings on a Cash Flow Statement?

Retained Earnings does not appear on a cash flow statement; however, the net profit or loss for the period (which gets closed to Retained Earnings) is usually the second item on the cash flow report. Beginning Cash Balance is the first. Then, all the cash changes on the Balance Sheet (such as reduction of debt) and the non-cash items on the Income Statment (such as depreciation) are listed to reconcile to the Ending Cash Balance.
