How to Manage Profit and Cash Flow: Mining the Numbers for Gold

This book will follow the same format as How to Read a Financial Report; short, to-the-point chapters and visually appealing exhibits. The major sections of the book would be organized around the fundamental uses of financial reports by business managers--to know what's going on, to evaluate the business against relevant benchmarks, to compare its performance and situation with a prior period, to plan and prepare for the coming period, etc. It will be a concise guide to explain how managers use the information in financial reports to make decisions and control the financial affairs of the company.
