Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Financial statements are compiled in a specific order because information from one statement carries over to the next statement. The trial balance is the first step in the process, followed by the adjusted trial balance, the income statement, the balance sheet and the statement of owner’s equity.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. Determine the Starting Balance. The first step in preparing a cash flow statement is determining the starting balance of cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the reporting period. This value can be found on the income statement of the same accounting period.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Statement of Cash Flows Stating your net income for the period. Accounting for your non-cash expenses.
