    Karen Berman: Financial Intelligence: A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean

  • Harvard University Press: Financial Intelligence
    CFO.com "It's like The Elements of Style of finance." Book Description Understanding the Financials—and What Lies Behind Them Managers in every business are expected to use financial data to make decisions, allocate resources, and budget expenses. But the truth is, many are uncomfortable applying the most basic financial tools in their day-to-day work. Even managers who consider themselves financially savvy may not understand what goes into a financial statement, and so may take the numbers as gospel when they should be questioning them. In Financial Intelligence, Karen Berman and Joe Knight present the essentials of finance, but with an extra dimension. Succinct, easy-to-read chapters teach the fundamentals in a way that everyone can understand and put to work right away. But the authors also take you behind the scenes, to show where the numbers come from. Since nobody can quantify everything, accountants and finance executives always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls, which can skew the numbers in one direction or another. This book helps you recognize and understand those biases, challenge or correct for them when necessary, and use this information to be a better manager. Based on their work training tens of thousands of managers and employees at many leading organizations, Berman and Knight provide readers with a deep understanding of: The basics of financial measurement: reading income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and moreThe art of finance: separating hard data from assumptions and estimatesThe mechanics of analysis: calculating ratios, return on investment, and working capitalCash and profit: knowing the difference between them, and why cash is suddenly the "hot" number in corporate boardrooms and on Wall StreetFinancial literacy and transparency: recognizing how they can boost performance Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories from real companies, Financial Intelligence will help nonfinancial managers add substantially more to their companies’—and their own—success. If you have ever wanted to "talk numbers" confidently with your colleagues, this is the book for you. (*****)

Problem Solving Prices

I had dinner somewhere in town. The price of the 'ala carte' menu was equal to the buffet.

I am not a perfect person so I chose the buffet.

ALL YOU CAN EAT.

I found a reason for me to change whom I use to be.

The reason to start over now, and the reason is you.

I found one reason to show, the side of me you didnt know.

So here I am now.

What was that all about?

Anyways, thinking process should be top - bottom. Otherwise life feels like living in a fish tank waiting for fish food.

I've had enough fish food.

Somebody actually tried to take me out.

Thank God it did not happen.

ZARIQUE.

Creator's *

I would like to say a few words, nothing in this world compares to team spirit.

What happens when you have two?
Answer; Complexities.

Our lives are simple really. Complications and the social agenda causes the stir.

Now about Law and Order. What is this?

Are we to learn from the good book and IT only? Can we not judge on whether a person is right or wrong solely on how SOCIETY sees HIM or HER?

I know for a fact, that when you are struggling to get your life together with absolution and good faith - ALL is a reality.

Someone said to me tonight, ' senang saja nak keluar dengan DIA, semua sama '

If only she knew.
ZARIQUE.
