How can you use your company’s assets more productively?

Are you at risk of running out of cash?

Are you giving your shareholders the best value for their investments?

Good questions. Financial Analysis and Decision Making shows you how to use the tools of financial analysis to arrive at answers that are both easy to grasp and based on reality, not CPA-speak.

This uniquely accessible book emphasizes the impact of accounting information on strategic business decisions, and explains how financial and nonfinancial professionals can use that information to solve a variety of business questions and problems.

Plain-English descriptions, sample problems, real-world case studies, and more show you how to:

• Look “inside” financial data for clues to past, current, and future performance
• Apply proven risk management principles to everyday business problems
• Control product costs to increase per-unit profits and gain competitive advantage

A fundamental understanding of financial analysis is an essential–but often overlooked–prerequisite to making sound strategic decisions.

Financial Analysis and Decision Making helps you understand what the numbers are saying and use that understanding to improve the performance of your business at every level.
