Corporate Accounting and Finance: A Rigorous Introduction for MBA Students
Most finance textbooks assume you already speak the language. This one teaches it. It starts with a single transaction and follows it through to the decisions that set a company's direction: how entries turn into financial statements, what those statements reveal once you can read them, and how managers use them to value assets, weigh risk and decide where to put money.Written for MBA and management students, the book explains each idea in plain language and then works it through with examples set in the Indian context, in rupees, with EMIs, Indian Accounting Standards and the Companies Act 2013. Twenty-seven chapters build in sequence, from accounting concepts, double-entry mechanics and financial statement analysis to the time value of money, risk and return, the valuation of bonds and shares, the cost of capital, capital budgeting, working capital, costing, budgeting and financial markets.Every chapter ends with worked examples, so you can check that the theory has stuck. The book then gives you the tools to revise and to sit the exam: financial tables, a master formula sheet, integrative case studies with solution notes, a glossary, solved problems, a self-test bank, and a closing guide on how to study the subject and approach the paper.Clear enough for a first encounter and full enough to return to, it's a book to learn finance from and to keep on the desk.
