- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There is so much valuable and interesting information in this book, especially for those that know close to nothing about finance. In this regard of understanding some sort of glimpse into the finance world, I highly recommend this book.
However, I wouldn't quite recommend it in audio book format, unless you excel in audio learning. There's a lot of information in the book, and for someone that is new to finance, it's a lot of new vocabulary, concepts, numbers, and even a few formulas which would be better to properly absorb at your own pace--if you have that option. I opted for the audio book version since the text is not on Scribd, but I will probably buy a hard copy in the future.1 person found this helpful

--Gottfried - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely a must-read for anyone who's wondered how money works inside an organization. Easily digestible and very sensibly laid out.
I should re-read it every 2 years to stay fresh. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent introduction into corporate financial accounting! It's written in very simple language and makes for an easy read even though the subject could be complicated. It's designed for non-financial managers who would like to understand how corporate finances work but it will work for anybody, including individual investors trying to make better sense of financial state of potential investment.
