Format:Paperback
Prior to reading this succinct book (only 92 pages!), my financial knowledge was reasonable. I was familiar with the Profit & Loss Account, the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statements but there were a number of things that I did not really understand - both in general terms e.g. the relationship between the P & L Account and the Balance Sheet; and a number of particular items that undermined my real understanding of accounts e.g. why it is vital to have good Current Asset Management. This marvellously compact book helps to clarify confusing financial terminology by e.g. highlighting different descriptions (used in business, the professional services and the U.S.A.) to describe the same financial term. This articulate book instills a good boost to one's confidence in really understanding and grasping the significance of financial accounts to analyse and improve performance. This gem will help you look 'behind the figures' to find what is the real health of the company. There are even tests (with answers!) to exam your acquired skills. Our company provides experienced Interim Managers at Director or Head of Function level to add immediate real value to our client organisations. I am now in a far better position to evaluate the productivity and profitablity of these interim projects (typically six month assignments). Do you really understand how to measure productivity of a company? Equally important, do you then know what to do to improve productivity ? If you are not confident in your answers to these questions, 'Test your Financial Awareness' could be the best Return on Investment you will ever make.

John Hodgson's work on Financial Awareness has helped me to understand the 'black art' that is finance. Presented in easy to understand terms, using diagrams and examples to increase insight and aid retention this work has helped me to make a significant breakthrough in my own personal financial awareness. A must for anyone who wishes to understand finance.
