Selected
an historical approach; ex post facto appraisal
vs. a present or future-value discounted approach IN the cashflow analysis.
I agree with the historical idea, but have added a 'with hindsight' or 'in retrospect' spin which I trust no one will lift and post as a separate answer, as has been done elsewhere.

Example sentence:
The basic cash flow model is based on historic financial statements, management\'s projections, accounts receivable dilution analysis, inventory turns/appraisals,
Note from asker:
| Not sure what you mean by "I trust no one will lift and post as a separate answer, as has been done elsewhere." But I can say your suggestion(s) are spot on. " |
| I guess that is why they are called "characters" - they simply change a character here and there. ;-) |

Comment: "I agree (with Deane, et. al.) that the word itself is a little difficult in Swedish - it is not a commonly used word. But in this context, a historical approach; ex post facto appraisal is clearly what is meant here.
As for all of the proffered possibilities here, the word could mean any of these, however Tom got it precisely what the message is that is attempting to be conveyed by the text."

with hindsight
Hello
I can't help thinking that this is perhaps what the writer meant and should have said 'efterklokhet'
We are talking about a cash flow analysis and although you should know with real time info where your generated cash is coming from, that doesn't mean that you had been able to predict the situation week by week
It is only now that Microsoft can look back and say whys
Ok, I'll get shot down for this although I'm giving it a low but as a native English speaker, I know that some of the other suggestions can not be used with the word 'analysis'
Tom Thumb's suggestion is in line as well with mine and the asker speaks of "using historical data to determine..."

At this late stage I'll put this as a reference, tho I'm a little leery of TomT's comments above as he covers two widely differnet answers in one ...
But this term is used in plain English (my favourite) as opposed to Latin (however, common). As reference there is

And there are EU references to ex post appraisal

Discussion
Tom Thumb picked that up, but that should have been stated explicity by me.
Moreover, I'm always suspicious of Swe words were the first hits on google are for Danish or Norwegian... Let's see where these leads! ;-)
Cash flow statements are cash in less cash out
