Description

The bottom line is… recorded annually in an organisation's financial statements. But is it what it seems? Managers who understand how to read a set of accounts and are able to interpret what the accounts say about an organisation's profitability, liquidity and growth can gain a valuable insight into the real performance of their competitors, customers and suppliers. Account Ability takes you through a structured 7 step approach developed by PricewaterhouseCoopers that helps you analyse the vital information contained in financial statements. Set in the context of a detective thriller featuring private eye, Philip Maclow, the drama helps you make links between numbers on a page and what really goes on in a business.
