How to find out answers to questions like these?

What has the management done with the free cash in the past years?

As I am just starting out in the world of investing, This question got me into thinking about how you guys research about a company, where do you look for information? Do you read the entire annual report? Or some important parts of it?

Lastly,
I’m very grateful to be a part of this community, the forum here is very smart

You might want to include Cash flow statement also in your analysis which will help you in finding, if the company is really generating money and more so if it is by doing its core business.
