With indirect method, profit before taxation (or profit before interest and tax) is taken from income statement and adjusted for non-cash items (that is depreciation, provisions). It's also adjusted for loss or profit on disposal of assets. Other items which will be classified under financing or investing are also adjusted for. Lastly adjustments are made for changes during the period in inventories, trade and other receivables and payables. This requires looking at current and prior year's statement of financial position.
