The language of business. In order to understand how your business is performing right now and to evaluate, assess, and devise new strategies to boost future performance, you need information. Financial statements are a critical source of the information you need. In direct and simple terms, Richard A. Lambert, Miller-Sherrerd Professor of Accounting at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, demystifies financial statements and concepts and shows you how you can apply this information to make better business decisions for long-term profit.

You will learn to use and interpret financial data; find out what we can learn from Pepsi, Krispy Kreme, General Motors, and other companies; learn how to evaluate investment strategies; and apply your financial know-how to develop a coherent business strategy.

difficult as an audio book

struggled to listed to tables and graphs being narrated. content and narration were good but difficult to process as an audio book.

great ebook... except

there's a lot of financial statement info covering multiple years that's hard to follow when read aloud rather than being g in print.

otherwise a great ebook.

excellent

easy to understand very basic stuff rate for a beginner I would recommend it 2NE1 is starting

good read

good book .. but you need to be prepared with a note pad and excel to fallow it and understand ... it seems more like a lecture on accounting in a class room setting ... but with the tools it is easy to fallow

How simply it was to understand.

The content was very informative and well organized. It is a great introduction to accounting.

Essential reading for managers and students

This book, while compact, is full of useful managerial information, and an essential asset for both managers and students alike. It can be referred to as a text book or reference book for the student or manager. Well done!!

Clear, practical, tremendous value

This is one of my favorite audiobooks ever (and I've listened to hundreds). I took financial and managerial accounting classes a few years ago. This worked as a refresher and went beyond that into solid, basic finance topics, very effectively. The information is useful to me for personal finance decisions as well (such as, using discounted value of future cash flows in decision support). Rarely have I found so much useful information so well and so compactly delivered. I will listen to it many times. I hope for more content form this author.

Valuable Book

Great book, easy to read and chuck full of valuable information for any manager who looks at financial statements.

Pleasantly Surprised

What made the experience of listening to Financial Literacy for Managers the most enjoyable?

Great information, enough detail to make it valuable, and not too involved to be cumbersome and boring.

Any additional comments?

I know I will have to listen to this audio book more than once to catch all the information. You need to download the PDF file so you can follow some of the figures, unless you are able to visualize the spoken figures and financial statements, which does require some concentration while you listen. This is definitely not a casual listen, but given the subject, I would not expect it to be.

very good but needs a more substantial pdf

I truly enjoyed learning about Finance and the narrator was excellent however this one shortcoming was a lack of PDF to follow along although excellent examples given in this text it would be very worthwhile to have a more detail PDF associated. and I would definitely enjoy reading it again while I listened to this excellent resource.
