Review Managing Tomorrow Today: Dynamic Financial Management ("Financial Times") (Financial Times Series) / Financial Times Management:Are you confused by accountancy jargon? Do you struggle to relate accountancy information to your business activities? Are you searching for a fast track method of understanding the financial information that faces you and what it means to your business? With the speed of business today we need information now - dynamic information - information that changes as our business changes. The traditional approach to finance - of waiting until tomorrow to discover the implications of today's actions - is no longer acceptable. The time has come to be less reliant on accountants and more financially astute ourselves. The time has come to propel ourselves into the arena of the dynamic manager where we can manage tomorrow today. Managing Tomorrow Today will help you manage your business better using the information already at your fingertips. It will provide you with new tools and techniques to enable you to focus on the numbers necessary to diagnose the health of your business and project its performance in the future. By capturing the appropriate information and applying the appropriate time and effort to understand the financial aspects of your business you will be able to maximize profits with minimum effort. This book outlines a new approach where the numbers work with you, for you, and where the finances of your business can be brought back into focus. Design your company's future. Manage tomorrow today. [+]Managing Tomorrow Today is based on a course developed by the authors to help entrepreneurs and business managers understand finance in their business. By adopting dynamic financial management tools and techniques you can understand and improve your business performance, enabling you to keep your finger firmly on the pulse. This book won't teach you standard accountancy practices, how to produce a profit and loss, or how to calculate your liquidity ratio. What it will do is teach you how to control and communicate the performance of your business to the professionals and understand more than they do about the finances of your business. It describes the key indicators that both drive the business and reflect business activities and management decisions, such as what is the maximum discount you can give without eating away all your profits, or how much money you need to fund a sales increase. Dynamic financial management is all about learning which figures to focus on and how to really get them to work for you. It's also about learning which figures to ignore - the time wasters. The authors are keen advocators of the 80:20 rule - 80% information for 20% effort. With this in mind, they show you how to pinpoint the relevant figures and key indicators quickly without having to wade through a sea of statistics. The book incorporates decision-making methods based on mathematical modelling that increase the user knowledge of their business and reduce risk in their decisions. That doesn't mean that you'll be bombarded with mathematical jargon and incomprehensible calculations. The techniques are presented in an easy-to-understand manner, with a wealth of visual aids and complementary case studies. Managing Tomorrow Today is an ideal resource for small companies that cannot afford to employ an accountant or for companies with an accountant who want to understand what it is they do or should be doing. It will enable you to take control of your company's finances, function more effectively and make good business decisions today for success tomorrow.

Review Taxing Offshore Investment Income / Fiscal Publications:The authors, an international panel of experts, address the design and operation of offshore investment fund regimes. They explore questions such as: what interests do they cover? How do regimes calculate, or estimate, residents' shares of income? What credit is there for foreign tax? When do regimes allow residents to set off losses on their foreign investments against domestic income? How is the bite of regimes limited to save costs of compliance and administration or to relieve tax burdens on internationally mobile executives? This book is comparative, dealing with topics issue-by-issue rather than country-by-country. It is written for practitioners who need to understand how foreign investment fund regimes work, for scholars and students of international tax law and principles, and for policy makers tasked with designing foreign investment fund regimes for their countries.

Review Effective Financial Management in Public and Nonprofit Agencies Third Edition / Praeger Publishers:Financial management has emerged as a critical force in everyday management. Revenue flow has suffered from three years of economic decline on the rising costs of governmental programs, along with citizens' demands for more cost-effective delivery of goods and services-even as they resist tax and fee increases. Public managers and not-for-profit organizations are forced to make creative use of their scarce financial resources. This new and updated edition retains the best of its predecessor. Attention is focused on the Government Performance Act of 1993 and how it has influenced the development, use, and implementation of performance measures to maximize accountability.

Review Global Corporate Finance: Text and Cases / Blackwell Publishers:This revised and updated edition introduces students and practitioners to those principles essential to an understanding of global financial problems and the policies multinational companies use to contend with them. The book is designed to serve as the main text for international finance courses in business schools or economics departments, as well as for courses in international financial markets, international banking and international investments. Using actual data, the authors present a balanced view of both theory and applications. Topics include the balance of payments, international monetary system, financial derivatives (the foreign exchange market), financing both foreign trade and foreign investment, global asset management and multinational accounting. In addition, the authors highlight contemporary issues, important research findings, and new financial instruments and techniques. Several elements of the text are new to the fourth edition, including the following: each of the first 19 chapters has a mini-case at the end, all of which are undisguised real cases; three cases focus on December 1994's Mexican peso crisis and 1997's Asian currency crisis; and a new chapter covers exchange rate forecasting.
