Romancing the Balance Sheet: On the Go

Reading a balance sheet is a skill most managers need and few are ever taught, and Anil Lamba's compact edition sets out to close that gap. This shortened version of his bestselling finance guide keeps the core explanations: what the items on a balance sheet represent, how profit differs from cash, where working capital disappears to, and how to read a set of financial statements for what they say about a business. Lamba works through everyday examples instead of accounting jargon, which suits readers who need the reasoning rather than the bookkeeping. The smaller format is built for reading in short stretches, on a commute or between meetings. The essentials: • A condensed edition of the author's longer finance guide • Balance sheets, profit, cash flow and working capital explained simply • Everyday examples in place of technical accounting language • A portable format suited to reading in short sittings Useful for entrepreneurs, managers without a finance background and business students shopping at Boipoka.
