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?

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!
