Learn common-sense ways to get the most out of your financial statements with this accounting program.
Want to get more out of financial reports? This entertaining story gives you a revealing look at the accounting standards that dictate how calculations are made, and the assumptions that can make a surprising difference to your bottom line.
Stanford professor George Parker provides both line-by-line explanations of the three key financial statements used by US companies, and offers logical, common-sense approaches to interpreting what they reveal about profitability, value, and the ability to pay bills.
The Balance Sheet
What does this company own?
How much debt is it carrying?
How much money have investors put in?
The Income Statement
What is the sales volume?
What kind of expense is the company incurring?
How much money is the company earning?
Which income figure should I look at: operating income, income before interest and taxes, or net income?
The Cash Flow Statement
Will this company be able to pay its bills?
Where's their cash flow coming from?
In this accounting program, you'll follow along as Dr. George Parker tracks the progress of Jill and Perry, non-financial managers assigned to evaluate the financial statements of two restaurants their company has targeted for acquisition. Learn not just textbook definitions, but real world meanings and business consequences.

The true-to-life drama in this negotiation program teaches specific skills that can give you the upper hand in any negotiation, while at the same time maintaining a positive working relationship with the other parties.

Emphasizing the "business" in "business casual."
Do you have a department that simply doesn't understand that "business casual" has a minimum standard?
Do you have some high-potential employees that could use some help dressing appropriately?
Are certain staff members always overdressed or underdressed when meeting with clients?
For a time, the emphasis of business casual was on the casual. A lack of specific guidance hurts employees who would like to fit in but don't understand the importance of their appearance. If you need your staff to upgrade their casual dress to meet today's more businesslike standards, this program can help.
Watch as etiquette expert Margery Sinclair (featured in Forbes magazine) assembles business casual outfits from an executive clothing source selected by the Wall Street Journal as one of the top ten in the United States.

He shows how to make it contagious so happiness and success spreads as you train everyone in your company to renounce pessimism and adopt a new outlook on life... and work!
