This audiobook is intended for people who want to know something about the fundamentals of financial accounting without becoming an accountant. Many people are in this position: small business owners, employers, employees, stockholders, investors, and many, many more. Most of these folks do not need a deep understanding of accounting; they just need to learn what accounting is and how they should be using it.

We will also examine the measures and ratios that accountants use to analyze an organization's performance and the important relationship between time and money. The fact that information is the product of accounting will remain foremost in this book.

A perfect companion for any accountant.

Any additional comments?

The book is minor in height and only 135 minutes and I listen to it in one sitting. which makes it a fanciful acquaintance when you’re on the go or in the office wanting to examine a company’s three-monthly or yearly report on the fly. It's a 5 star if used in the means of a companion to a further in depth and time intense book with examples and case studies.
