Financial Reporting (Management Briefing Series Book 1)

This highly readable book provides just what is needed by managers in today’s pressured business environment - a short but comprehensive summary of the knowledge necessary to understand financial reports, both internal and external. It covers the key issues of accounting in a way which avoids technical complexity and gets right to the essence of financial statements - their purpose, their strengths and weaknesses and their meaning to the managers who use them.
 
The book is written in a form which reflects the values of the organisation which has driven its publication - MTP. It is practical in approach and realistic in its assessment of what managers need and have the time to absorb. It is also as interactive as it is possible to be within the framework of a book, using question and answer format for most of its content. It is ideally suited for individual work prior to a financial training programme, or as a refreshment/overview for managers with limited time availability.
