Does a decrease in prepaid expenses increase cash flow?

No, it does not. You already paid for it. The cash involved is gone.

Whatever was pre-paid has decreased in value as an asset. It's not a liability, equity, revenue, nor an expense. It would have to be an increase in another form of an asset.

Accumulated depreciation is likely the asset that would increase.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
