Description: "The book is aimed at the relative newcomer to the subject in that it does not make many assumptions about the prior knowledge of the reader and does not develop the theoretical aspects beyond the level needed to provide the reader with the necessary understanding to apply the concepts in practice. A key feature of the book is its emphasis on using accounting concepts in value management. A key idea element deals with managing all aspects of the firm--and, even, on creating a new firm. Hence prominence is given to the practical aspects of raising capital and building up and managing the financial aspects of the business. The text covers all the key aspects of corporate finance. One particular innovation is the way it addresses firms at all their different stages of development, from the business start-up to the mature, public company. Specific chapters deal with business formation and how to raise capital and, in later chapters, important issues such as corporate risk management and international finance are covered"--
