    Abstract
    In this research report we survey the cash flow reporting practices for a sample of fifteen of the largest, independent and publicly-traded U.S. commercial banks. In the process, we find many reasons why cash flows are typically not important measures of financial performance for the banks. For our sample, we adjust reported operating cash flows for classification differences, for non-cash transfers of loans and investments between categories that impact operating cash flow, and for the effects of acquisitions. In the adjustment process we find some notable changes to operating cash flow. In particular, we see declines in adjusted operating cash flow for Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, and increases in adjusted operating cash flow for Citigroup, Fifth Third Bancorp, KeyCorp, PNC Financial and SunTrust Banks. We seek your comments on how bank cash flows should be measured. Analysts who evaluate the financial performance of commercial banks will want to give consideration to adjustments such as these when examining bank finances. Bank regulators and the FASB may also want to consider these adjustments and the somewhat limited disclosures of information relevant for the adjustments that are presently provided by the banks. More detailed information on items such as brokered deposits and acquisition-related cash flows would be helpful.
