	Understanding Accounts does what it says on the tin. It helps you understand the annual company accounts drawn up by your accountant. Finance for non financial managers courses cover much the same ground. In fact, co-author Nick Rints has many years' experience running finance for non financial management courses for colleges, business schools and companies. The advantage of this interactive CD-ROM is that it is available when you need it. It's also a fraction of the cost. When you need to learn how a balance sheet works, how to read a profit and loss account, understand cash flow, gearing, liquidity, or apply accounting ratios, get out the Understanding Accounts CD. The "revisit" menu allows you to jump straight to the section you need.
