Is the spelling cash flow, cash-flow or cashflow? - Australian spelling
If you refer to Wiktionary where all variations based on worldwide usage are
listed, you could be excused for being confused. The Australian Oxford
dictionary only lists cash flow as a noun. The latest edition of the
Macquarie dictionary lists cash flow as a noun and cashflow as
the verb.
In general, if according to the Macquarie dictionary
definition you’re referring to, 'the amount of cash generated by a company', or
'the overall pattern of income and expenditure of a company, organisation, or
person, and the resulting availability of funds at any given time', then the
spelling would be cash flow.
