5.0 out of 5 stars More applicable learning than a whole year at University..., December 3, 2006
This review is from: Finance & Accounting for Non-Financial Managers (Paperback)
If you're already in the workforce and thinking of updating skills and knowledge by doing a few subjects at a College, try this little book first. It may be all you need, and more, at a fraction of the investment in time and money.

If you're a business student, this would be a great supplementary reader. Among other things, it's likely to keep your brain on the straight and practical.

Happy reading.
