I think any one who has no previous experience of financial management can learn in a day. This I am telling out of my experience in International Islamic University MBA class where majority of students came from GOVT. departments with no or very little experience of accounting and financial management. This book helped them in making a decision whether to stick to finance or shift their emphisis to marketing as major.

I strongly suggest to those who would like to learn Financial Managment should read this book. My personal experience says one can even go through while travelling.

For those people who would like to take Financial Managment more seriously, this book will be more help ful when this book is blended with other books. My personal favourite is Foundations of Financial Management by Stainley B.Block & Geoffrey Hirt.

The attractive thing in the book is that it is written in very small paragraphs which hepls in keeping the concentration of the reader which is a practical approach.

My personal congradulations to Mr. Seitz. But it is very unfortunate that this book is out of print for many years which in my opinion is a sin and depriving many readers from a wonderful book.

THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT REVIEW OF WHAT THE FINANCIAL MANAGERS SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR MINDS. IT HELPS TO UNDERSTAND AND RUNNING YOUR COMPANY. ANYONE HAS TO READ IT

Peter Craig's book on Accounting and Finance for Magazines is the best (and I believe ONLY) book available on this subject. Yet it is of vital importance for any publisher who receives subscription income. Most accountants do not realize that subscription income is DIFFERENT!!! And neither do most CPA's and auditors. With this book you can show how it is SUPPOSED to be handled.

This is an invaluable book for business consultants, executive management, process analysts and IT professionals. Part I provides keen insights about the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between today's economic situation that has been changed dramatically by the Internet and e-commerce, and the "old" economy that is characterized by bricks and mortar and traditional distribution. The heart of this book is Part II, which provides metrics and indicators that need to be considered in today's competitive environment. In particular, the process metrics and transaction cycles that the author provides need to be carefully considered because they represent realities of competitively doing business in an e-commerce setting. This material will directly benefit process analysts and business process owners who are tasked with realigning their operations with systems that support e-commerce. Moreover, this information will also provide a solid foundation for IT analysts and architects who need to understand the business and functional requirements of systems they will be designing to support e-commerce. Another benefit that this book will provide is a method for performing an accurate cost/benefit analysis of any system or reengineering initiative that is undertaken to support business and IT alignment for e-commerce. I strongly recommend augmenting this excellent book with "Internet Commerce Metrics and Models in the New Era of Accountability" by Sri Jagannathan, which is a compendium of models and metrics that complement and validate the information in this book.

This book is the simplest information about a variety of financial areas. The author uses the scriptures to support the financial principals. Then Mr. Paris teaches us how to do what we are suppose to do. Most books teach us what we need to do the information is out there for us to use. But this book teaches us how to do it not just what to do. I'm a personal financial analyst and I am so impressed with the format of this book I've started to give this book away free to some of my needy clients. Also, I've designed Financial Wisdom Seminars for the Christian community. These seminars are free and educational in nature; free books are given away at the seminars as well. All this has been inspired from this book. Buy it, read it and put it to pracitce. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Thank you H. Lynn Massey

If a real estate appraiser is dealing in valuing the income approach for property, this book should be a must. It is easy to use and a good way to check your calculator's results to make sure that your analysis is correct.

Practical describes this book perfectly. The author has achieved with great success, a down to earth method of helping counselors understand the real process of working with their clients to achieve financial wellness. Most financial counseling books I have read tend to be somewhat over my head even though I have been a credit union financial counselor for nearly 25 years. The book has many helpful worksheets that I use in my money management workshops and group counseling sessions. Two of my most favorite chapters deal with debt management and financial calculating for counselors. "Financial Counseling in Practice" offers extremely helpful tools for assisting counselors to really make a difference in helping individuals improve their overall financial picture. Whether you are an experienced counselor or someone who is just beginning a career in helping people achieve financial stability, I recommend this book highly. Even if you are not a financial counselor by profession, ministers, care givers or anyone wanting to better assess their own financial position, will find this book useful.

This is one of the few books about auditing and compliance that is written for general business managers instead of auditors. To be sure, the material represents an excellent training tool for auditors and compliance specialists who need to develop a company-wide awareness program as one tier in a comprehensive initiative. However, the main message in the book, and the approach it presents, is based on the fact that the responsibility for deterring fraud extends well beyond auditing and compliance. Indeed, the most effective deterrent is an aware management and workforce that is vigilant at all levels.

Three objectives of this book are: (1) serve as a primer on financial fraud, its impact on organizations and common exposures, and (2), give mangers who may not be trained in auditing guidance and techniques to investigate fraud if they find themselves tasked with doing so (a particularly common occurrence in small-to-medium businesses), (3) provide a comprehensive framework for detecting, investigating and dealing with fraud.

The full range of topics are covered and are presented without the professional auditing and compliance jargon, which makes it easy for general business professionals to understand. I like the way the authors addressed ethics, and especially like the chapter on whistleblowing (see "Merrill Lynch: The Cost Could Be Fatal" by Keith A. Schooley for a realistic view of how tricky this can be for all parties). In addition, I thought that the integrated approach that defines clearly articulated policies and procedures, and roles and responsibilities for all stakeholders is a critical success factor to making it all work. The reason is, like security, fraud control requires a defense in depth that depends on no single element of that defense. I also found the two appendices (A-Forensic Statement Analysis and B-An Introduction to Data Mining as a Fraud Risk Management Tool) invaluable.

For whom will this book be most useful? Managers, regardless of functional area or specialty, will gain insights into causes and steps to prevent fraud. It will also provide basic tools for investigating suspected fraud.

Professional auditors or compliance specialists will find a viable approach to developing and implementing a company-wide initiative that will significantly reduce fraud.

Corporate and IT security specialists will find a wealth of material that will support their own detection, investigation and action procedures, especially for the IT security specialist who is trained in forensics.

Great concept - great book - wish I'd heard of it sooner. It would have saved my company a lot of grief - and money!
