Accounting for Managers: A Business Decision Guide

Non-financial managers need a sufficient knowledge of accounting to interpret a company’s financial statements and make key business decisions. In Accounting for Managers, we describe how accounting transactions are compiled into financial statements and how information about company performance can be extracted from those statements. We also discuss a number of accounting-based decision tools and how they can be used to improve upon business decisions in many areas, including sales and marketing, investments, and acquisitions.
