Riassunto

Managing Financial Information examines a subject that managers fear and resent but that lies at the heart of every organisation. Beginning with an explanation of how the finance department fits into the business as a whole, the book goes on to take the reader carefully through the construction of a balance sheet, the trading and loss account, the cash statement and the manufacturing account, explaining the different roles of each. The language of financial information can often seem arcane. Managing Financial Information explains such vital terms as profit and loss, added value and cost benefit analysis, and includes a large selection of straightforward exercises and examples to give a backbone to your understanding. Reading this book will enable the reader to confidently interpret and use: management ratios; costing concepts and techniques, including absorption costing, standard costing and marginal costing; cash flow; cash budgets and master budgets. Readable and direct, Managing Financial Informationis the best introduction to the business of understanding finance today. With an introduction by the late Professor Ian Beardwell, former IPD Vice President of Membership and Education.

Recensione

"The structure is easy to follow and interesting to read...The materials are useful in providing a general overview...and the text covers the points succinctly" --(Patricia Chase, Senior Lecturer, Middlesex University, UK)

"The content of this proposed text is better than the text I currently use...The depth of coverage is relevant for the academic level, the style is appropriate and has been written in such a way that it makes for an easy read for the students...I think that all the key areas have been adequately covered...The material is clearly relevant to the financial aspects of the module...The length of the text is about right in that it covers the topic areas well without being drawn out and the author has not skimped on the material such that any topic has not been discussed and explained adequately. I would recommend this text to my CIPD students without reservation" --(Raymond Rogers, Lecturer, Coventry University, UK)
