Make simple sense of complex financial information!

The high-profile accounting scandals of recent years have made one thing clear: You can't know too much about the company for which you work. What are the numbers? Where do you find them? How do they affect you and your staff?

  • The essential concepts of finance, so you can ask intelligent questions and understand the answers
  • Vital statements and reports, with sections on pro forma financial statements and expensing of stock options
  • The auditing process--what is measured, how it's measured, and how you can help ensure accuracy and completeness

With chapter-ending quizzes and an online final exam, The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Course: Finance for Nonfinancial Managers serves as a virtual professor, providing the curriculum you need to crunch the numbers like a pro!
