Abstract
This study sought to identify the impacts of cash flow classification on the risk assessment of industrial firms listed on the Palestine, Amman, Saudi Arabia, Muscat, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai stock exchanges. The study sought to achieve several goals, including determining the impact of cash flow classification represented by the main activities (operating, investing and financing) on the assessment of risks (liquidity, solvency and financial flexibility). The study sample consisted of 181 industrial firms from 2018 to 2022. Descriptive and analytical approaches were used, and multiple linear regression was conducted, using the fixed effects method, to achieve the study objectives. The results showed that the classification of operating, financing, and investing cash flows statistically impacts liquidity risks, solvency, and financial flexibility. In light of this, the study recommended maintaining an appropriate liquidity level. The industry index is considered a measure of the firm's liquidity level and a study of the response of cash flows and risks to economic growth, inflation, and interest rates.
