USA What is the most general way of calculating Retained Cash Flow?

[nervousaccountant]

HI all,


Could you please help me?


Given a 10K filing, how do I calculate Retained Cash Flow? I am looking for the most general, robust and accurate approach which, hopefully, applies to all companies' 10K filing.


For example, we can calculate Retained Cash Flow starting from OCF, FCF or Net Income, etc. Which approach is the most general, robust and accurate and applies to all companies?


Thank you!
