Companies' financial statements reflect the company's state for the internal and external users. International and national accounting standards define the principles and liabilities for their composition. Not all entrepreneurs are obliged to write all types of financial statements. Nevertheless, it cannot be specified which statement has more or less importance for the company. Every information has a significant role in users' decision making. The use of various accounting principles, but also the difference between accrual and money basis in recording accounting information, results in providing different amounts of identical indicators. Traditional approach, which is based on balance analysis and profit and loss statement, as the companies' primary financial statement, is represented in analytical practice. The results obtained with that type of analysis are sometimes not relevant or they do not present the company's real state. The cash flow statement serves as the additional source of information for the users. Money basis information recording provides relevant information for the users about the companies' cash flow and the state of the cash and cash equivalents. The cash flow statement is not the subject of consideration in the literature, in the way that the other financial statements are. However, the more frequent financial statement frauds resulted in the more detailed analysis approach and showed the need to include every available information in the analysis. To emphasize the role, the importance and the significance of the cash flow information, this study examines the differences in information providing and the degree of information correlation obtained by the traditional indicators and by the cash flow indicators. Correlation analysis of the listed companies product companies in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 2014 to 2017 examines the degree of correlation of indicators profitability of property, i.e. profitability of the company's funds, which is the traditional indicator, with the amount of the free cash flow 2, which is the money indicator. The results of the study show a positive correlation between the examined variables among the significant number of companies. Although there is a significant correlation, it does not necessarily mean that the growth or the decline of one variable would follow the trend of another one. In order to make the right and prompt decision, it is important to include money basis indicators, along with the generally accepted traditional indicators, in the analysis.
