Understanding rules of success operations with Financial Reporting for Business
Accounting reports convey information about cash, profit and financial position to the owner and key stakeholders of a business. This series explores the content and format of the three key accounting reports: the balance sheet, the profit and loss, and the cash flow statement. It will build on students’ basic numeracy skills as they prepare to learn new formulae for exams pertaining to financial reporting. The case studies provide tangible examples that will bring theoretical concepts to life.
Cash Flow
Cash flow is integral to any business and ensuring that more cash flows in than flows out is the fundamental rule of successful operations. An ideal resource for senior secondary and TAFE students of accounting and business, this video explores the difference between cash and profit and looks at what should be included in the different areas of a cash flow statement.
This series is a fresh new look at content covered originally by popular titles Financial Reporting for Business (2008), The Money Go Round: Cash Flow (2006) and The Bottom Line: Balance Sheets and P&Ls (2006). Each video is sleek and concise, perfect for integration into schemes of work and student/pupil revision schedules.
Richard Foster, Industry Fellow at the Faculty of Business and Economics, Monash University, provides his expert definitions and explanations of tricky accounting concepts, while Pat Coppel, director and owner of Make Designed Objects, gives some real-world perspectives on how he runs his own business in Melbourne.
