Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book explains the concepts, measures and relationships which are fundamental to the process of setting financial goals and controlling the fulfillment of these goals at various levels of management responsibility. The author describes how rates of return on assets, capital employed and stockholders' equity are measured; how the relationships among these measures are dependent upon the method by which operations are financed; and how the financial capacity to grow can be analyzed within a comprehensive financial goal system.
The reader should be familiar with basic accounting concepts. The book focuses, however, on the use rather than the preparation of accounting information. The book is essential reading for students and academics in the field of accounting and finance, but also valuable reading for business executives, accountants etc.
Includes bibliographical references (page 164) and index.
