    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. (*****)

Cause you'll always be my baby..

To be with you is like flying through the blue autumn sky. Clouds are moving infinitely, motionless just like my love for you.

You know where I am. I am here for you.

Countless years have passed and I still long for you.

Lets not give up, for our dreams will come true.

Love ya Loads.

DZ.

Overcoming obstacles together

Everyday, I strive to succeed. More often than rather we get sidetracked by illicit issues.

Thankful tho' I am, as we are progressing to many different elements in life. Everything I would want is around me.

I've found the guilty mind, I need to prove IT that's all.

They say, the people around you shape the person you are. I tend to agree with this. Life is fast paced over here. I am thankful.

Its a pitty seeing qualified people judging you from your externalities. They should know better. At least they are honest.

I sat next to a Bruneian today whilst breaking my fast. My friends and I agreed she was the hottest looking lady in the room. Again, we looked at externalities.

I cant' blame them nor can I blame society for shaping what is today.

Happy Ramadhan to all Muslims alike and to those whom revolve around us.

DZ.

P.S Love and peace to my family.

Marry One, Marry Two

Hot_4 Praise to our allmighty god, Allah S.W.T.

In the blessfullness month of Ramadhan, many great things are happening. We have to be sure of what is 'wajib' and what is 'sunah'.

With all things being equal. Life could not be better.

We all have wants and more in particular, nafs. To strike a balance is our goal.

I am glad that we can communicate D**A. If not, it is only my wild imagination.

Let's continue this journey and behold what our future has to offer.

DZ.

P.S Keep them pictures coming.

Nitwits.

Greetings to my fellow readers on the world wide web. To my astonishment, there are some individuals on the WWW whom care not to understand the purpose of 'Tag boards'.

Please allow me to explain the purpose of these tools for blogs and websites as such.

The English Language has more than 100,000 words in the Oxford English Dictionary. A combination of this words composed of adjectives and nouns can be used to construct a sentence.

A sentence is usually used to communicate purpose. My purpose is to write.

What is yours?

May I suggest to some indviduals on the WWW to subscribe to a basic English Language Course at your convenient community college. I am very sure you would then be able to find your sole purpose.

Public weblog community announcement.

Thank You.

DZ.
